Vortex qubit based on an annular Josephson junction containing a microshort

A. N. Price, A. Kemp, D. R. Gulevich +2 more

We report theoretical and experimental work on the development of a vortex qubit based on a microshort in an annular Josephson junction. The microshort creates a potential barrier for the vortex, which produces a double-well potential under the application of an in-plane magnetic field; the field strength tunes the barrier height. A one-dimensional model for this system is presented, from which we calculate the vortex-depinning current and attempt frequency as well as the interwell coupling. Implementation of an effective microshort is achieved via a section of insulating barrier that is locally wider in the junction plane. Using a junction with this geometry we demonstrate classical state preparation and readout. The vortex is prepared in a given potential well by sending a series of ``shaker'' bias-current pulses through the junction. Readout is accomplished by measuring the vortex-depinning current.

Bose-Einstein Condensates in a Single Double Well Potential

Rudolf Gati

The subject of this work is the experimental implementation of a single bosonic Josephson junction and the discussion of the performed investigations. To generate this new kind of Josephson junction a 87-Rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate is split in a double well potential into two matter wave packets, which are coupled coherently to each other via quantum mechanical tunneling of atoms through the barrier. The state of the system can be described by two dynamical variables, the population imbalance of the two wells and their phase difference. The investigation of the dynamical response of the Josephson junction shows, that two dynamical regimes can be identified, the plasma oscillation regime, where atoms tunnel back and forth between the wells, and the self trapping regime, where no tunneling is found. Furthermore, the investigation at finite temperature reveals, that the relative phase in steady state is not locked to zero but fluctuates according to its temperature and the tunneling coupling. By measuring the fluctuations and calculating the tunneling coupling it is possible to deduce the temperature of the atomic cloud. With this a new method for thermometry is realized, which also works in a regime, where the standard methods can not be applied.
