Inhomogeneous Josephson junction chains: a superconducting meta-material for superinductance optimization

D. V. Nguyen, D. M. Basko

We report a theoretical study of the low-frequency impedance of a Josephson junction chain whose parameters vary in space. Our goal is to find the optimal spatial profile which maximizes the total inductance of the chain without shrinking the low-frequency window where the chain behaves as an inductor. If the spatial modulation is introduced by varying the junction areas, we find that the best result is obtained for a spatially homogeneous chain, reported earlier in the literature. An improvement over the homogeneous result can be obtained by representing the junctions by SQUIDs with different loop areas, so the inductances can be varied by applying a magnetic field. Still, we find that this improvement becomes less important for longer chains.

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.
