Observation of Quantized Energy Levels in a Josephson Junction Using SFQ Circuits

Yuki Yamanashi, M. Ito, A. Tagami +1 more

A single flux quantum (SFQ) circuit to measure quantized energy levels in a Josephson junction has been proposed and implemented, which allows us to perform high-speed and low-noise measurements of the escape rate in Josephson junctions. By using this technique, the measurement of escape rate has been carried out at 4.2 K, the temperature three times higher than the crossover temperature. The test results show periodic dependence of the escape rate on the junction bias current, which is caused by the energy quantization effect in the Josephson junction.

Energy-Level Quantization in the Zero-Voltage State of a Current-Biased Josephson Junction

John M. Martinis, Michel Devoret, John L. Clarke

We report the first observation of quantized energy levels for a macroscopic variable, namely the phase difference across a current-biased Josephson junction in its zero-voltage state. The position of these energy levels is in quantitative agreement with a quantum mechanical calculation based on parameters of the junction that are measured in the classical regime.
