Coherent dynamics in long fluxonium qubits
Coherent dynamics in long fluxonium qubits
We analyze the coherent dynamics of a fluxonium device (Manucharyan et al 2009 Science 326 113) formed by a superconducting ring of Josephson junctions in which strong quantum phase fluctuations are localized exclusively on a single weak element. In such a system, quantum phase tunnelling by occurring at the weak …
