Popis: We propose a one-dimensional array of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) composed of three asymmetrically positioned Josephson junctions to realize a discrete double sine-Gordon (DSG) model. Two fluxons in this SQUID array attract each other and form bound states with internal oscillation modes. We conduct numerical simulations of a discrete DSG equation, and show that the period of the internal oscillation of a moving fluxon pair exhibits relativistic time dilation except near the speed of light. We also show that driving with a pure alternating current causes progressive motion of the bound fluxon pair even in the presence of dissipation.
