Abstract
The measurement process is introduced in the dynamics of Josephson devices exhibiting quantum behaviour in a macroscopic degree of freedom. The measurement is shown to give rise to a dynamical damping mechanism whose experimental observability could be relevant to understand decoherence in macroscopic quantum systems.
