Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling and Resonant Activation of Current Biased Intrinsic Josephson Junctions in Bi-2212
The utilization of a high-Tc superconductor for implementing a superconducting qubit is to be expected. Recent researches on the quantum property of Josephson junctions in high-Tc superconductors indicate that the low energy quasiparticle excitation is weak enough to observe the macroscopic quantum tunneling. Therefore, a detailed study on the quantum property of high-Tc Josephson junctions bec...
متن کاملThermal Activation of Superconducting Josephson Junctions
Superconducting quantum circuits (SQCs) are being explored as model systems for scalable quantum computing architectures. Josephson junctions are extensively used in superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and in persistent-current qubit systems. Noise excitations, however, have a critical influence on their dynamics. Thus, the primary focus of this research was to investigate the...
متن کاملVariety of c-axis collective excitations in layered multigap superconductors.
We present a dynamical theory for the phase differences along a stacked direction of intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJ's) in layered multigap superconductors, motivated by the discovery of highly anisotropic iron-based superconductors with thick perovskite-type blocking layers. The dynamical equations describing ac and dc intrinsic Josephson effects peculiar to multigap IJJ's are derived, and ...
متن کاملMaximally entangling tripartite protocols for Josephson phase qubits
Superconducting circuits with Josephson junctions have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for scalable solid-state quantum computing architectures. The story began in the early 1980’s, when Tony Leggett made a remarkable prediction that under certain experimental conditions the macroscopic variables describing such circuits could exhibit a characteristically quantum behavi...
متن کاملReentrance effect in macroscopic quantum tunneling and nonadiabatic Josephson dynamics in d-wave junctions.
We develop a theoretical description of nonadiabatic Josephson dynamics in superconducting junctions containing low energy quasiparticles. Within this approach we investigate the effects of midgap states in junctions of unconventional d-wave superconductors. We identify a reentrance effect in the transition between thermal activation and macroscopic quantum tunneling, and connect this phenomeno...
