Soliton excitations and qubit implementation in frustrated Josephson junction
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the dynamics of fluxons moving in a frustrated Josephson junction with p, d, and f -wave symmetry and calculate the I − V characteristics. The behavior of fluxons is quite distinct in the long and short length junction limit. For long junctions the intrinsic flux is bound at the center and the moving integer fluxon or antifluxon interacts with it only when it approaches the junction’s center. For small junctions the intrinsic flux can move as a bunched type fluxon introducing additional steps in the I − V characteristics. Possible realization in quantum computation is presented.

Charge Solitons in 1-D Arrays of Serially Coupled Josephson Junctions
We study a 1-D array of Josephson coupled superconducting grains with kinetic inductance which dominates over the Josephson inductance. In this limit the dynamics of excess Cooper pairs in the array is described in terms of charge solitons, created by polarization of the grains. We analyze the dynamics of these topological excitations, which are dual to the fluxons in a long Josephson junction,...
متن کاملDecoherence of a Josephson qubit due to coupling to two-level systems
Noise and decoherence are major obstacles to the implementation of Josephson junction qubits in quantum computing. Recent experiments suggest that two-level systems TLS in the oxide tunnel barrier are a source of decoherence. We explore two decoherence mechanisms in which these two-level systems lead to the decay of Rabi oscillations that result when Josephson junction qubits are subjected to s...

This chapter describes a method to control and measure quantum cavities, achieved using a superconducting phase qubit, a type of electronic atom. The phase qubit has been under intensive development for use as a quantum processing element in a quantum computer.
