We present an analytical and computational study of resonances and transient responses in a classical Josephson junction system. A theoretical basis for resonances in a superconducting loop with three junctions is presented, outlining both the direct relationship between the dynamics of single- and multijunction systems and the direct relationships between observations of the classical counterparts to Rabi oscillations, Ramsey fringes, and spin-echo oscillations in this class of systems. We show simulation data along with analytical analyses of the classical model, and the results are related to previously reported experiments conducted on three junction loops. We further investigate the effect of off-resonant microwave perturbations to, e.g., the Rabi-type response of the Josephson system, and we relate this response back to the nonlinear and multivalued resonance behavior previously reported for a single Josephson junction. The close relationships between single and multijunction behaviors demonstrate the underlying dynamical mechanism for a whole class of classical counterparts to expected quantum-mechanical observations in a variety of systems, namely, the resonant and transient behavior of a particle in an anharmonic potential well with subsequent escape.

We study two superconducting charge qubits sharing a large Josephson junction with transient effects considered for the case of the linear sweep model to explore the influence of a time-varying field on the entanglement of the qubits. We show that the fluctuations in the entanglement can be controlled by the transient effects. Moreover, the time-averaged entanglement oscillates smoothly and then fluctuates with the increasing influence of the transient effects.
