Flux qubit with a large loop size and tunable Josephson junctions

邓辉, 于海峰, 薛光明 +6 more

We present the design of a superconducting flux qubit with a large loop inductance. The large loop inductance is desirable for coupling between qubits. The loop is configured into a gradiometer form that could reduce the interference from environmental magnetic noise. A combined Josephson junction, i.e., a DC-SQUID is used to replace the small Josephson junction in the usual 3-JJ (Josephaon junction) flux qubit, leading to a tunable energy gap by using an independent external flux line. We perform numerical calculations to investigate the dependence of the energy gap on qubit parameters such as junction capacitance, critical current, loop inductance, and the ratio of junction energy between small and large junctions in the flux qubit. We suggest a range of values for the parameters.

Spectroscopy of Josephson-Junction Flux Qubit with Controllable Energy Gap

Yoshihiro Shimazu, Y. Saito, Z. Wada

A double-loop four-Josephson-junction (4-JJ) flux qubit has an advantage over a three-Josephson-junction flux qubit in that the energy gap Δ at the symmetry point can be controlled in situ by varying the magnetic flux in one of the two loops. We report the results of a microwave spectroscopy measurement of a 4-JJ qubit. The magnetic fluxes in the two loops were controlled via a magnetic field and control flux. The excitation energy spectra at various values of control flux indicate the tunability of Δ via the control flux. Two branches of the excitation spectra were observed.
