Abstract
We formulate a canonical quantum theory for the square-shape closed 0-π junction system in the absence of an external magnetic field. When the quantum tunneling takes place between the two degenerate classical ground states having different current patterns, the system forms a quantum two-level system. The Hamiltonian which describes the quantum two-level system is derived from the generalized sine-Gordon equation.
