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. 相似文献

A new type of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) based on a single superconducting loop without Josephson junctions and with asymmetric contacts has been proposed. This SQUID offers advantages in simplicity of fabrication and a steeper dependence of measured quantities on the magnetic flux. To confirm the possibility of making this type of SQUID, the magnetic field dependence of the critical current in an aluminum ring with asymmetric contacts has been experimentally investigated. 相似文献

Confinement into a state with persistent current by thermal quenching of loop of Josephson junctions
Jorge Berger 《Physica C: Superconductivity and its Applications》2008,468(4):294-298
We study a loop of Josephson junctions that is quenched through its critical temperature. For three or more junctions, symmetry breaking states can be achieved without thermal activation, in spite of the fact that the relaxation time is practically constant when the critical temperature is approached from above. The probability for these states decreases with quenching time, but, for a large number of junctions, cooling does not have to be fast. For this case, we evaluate the standard deviation of the induced flux. Our results are consistent with the available experimental data. 相似文献

We describe observations of spontaneous flux generation inside a YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) loop made of 214 Josephson junctions in series. The flux is generated spontaneously during cooldown into the superconducting state. The experiment is motivated by the Kibble-Zurek scenario of formation of topological defects in condensed matter systems. The transition from decoupled superconducting segments into a coherent loop is determined by the strength of thermal fluctuations in the junctions. Values of the flux measured at the end of each cooldown follow a normal distribution, and are consistent with the instantaneous phase differences across the junctions adding up as the loop becomes coherent. 相似文献

Possible approaches to the creation of Josephson superconducting circuits with a high linearity of transformation of a magnetic
signal into voltage and a wide dynamic range have been described. Realization of such circuit by the creation of a special
spatial inhomogeneity in chains of Josephson junctions and connection of these chains into a differential circuit has been
considered. A new method for linearizing the transfer function of a single two-junction superconducting quantum interference
device, which is an elementary cell of the chain, by connecting to it an additional loop playing the role of a nonlinear transformer
of the magnetic flux has been described. For both approaches, the basic analytical expressions describing the synthesized
circuits are presented. The data on numerical calculation and experimental measurements of samples produced on the basis of
niobium technology with the critical current density of Josephson junctions of 4.5 kA/cm2 are reported. The approaches developed in the work can serve as a basis for the creation of highly efficient gigahertz superconducting
amplifiers for cellular and satellite communications and can be applied for improving the characteristics of SQUID-based devices. 相似文献

We discuss the general-relativisticcontributions which occur in the electromagneticproperties of a superconductor with a heat flow. Theappearance of a general-relativistic contribution to themagnetic flux through a superconducting thermoelectricbimetallic circuit is shown. The response of theJosephson junctions to a heat flow is investigated inthe general-relativistic framework. Somegravitothermoelectric effects which are observable in thesuperconducting state in the Earth's gravitational fieldare considered. 相似文献

We report the first experimental evidence of nontrivial thermal behavior of the simplest mesoscopic system--a superconducting loop. By measuring the specific heat C of an array of 450,000 noninteracting aluminum loops with very high accuracy of approximately 20 fJ/K, we show that the loops go through a periodic sequence of phase transitions (with a period of an integer number of magnetic flux quanta) as the magnetic flux threading each loop is increased. The transitions are well described by the Ginzburg-Landau theory and are accompanied by discontinuities of C of only several thousands of Boltzmann constants kB. 相似文献

We show that a quantum Hall bilayer with the total filling nu = 1 should exhibit a dynamical regime similar to the flux flow in large Josephson junctions. This analogy may explain a conspicuous peak in the interlayer tunneling conductance [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5808 (2000)]. The flux flow is likely to be spatiotemporally chaotic at low-bias voltage, which will manifest itself through broadband noise. The peak position can be controlled by an in-plane magnetic field. 相似文献

Experimental data for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) action on a supersonic nitrogen flow about an axisymmetric model are presented.
The experiments were carried out in the Big Shock Tube (Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute), at the end of which a test section
equipped with a supersonic nozzle was mounted. A test conic model coupled with a cylinder is attached to the output cross
section of the nozzle. A magnetic field is produced by a solenoid placed on the cylindrical part of the model through which
a pulsed current due to an external voltage source discharging passes. Electrodes on the conic part of the model initiate
a gas discharge, which rotates about the axis of the model in the solenoidal magnetic field. The influence of the magnetic
field on the gasdynamic pattern of the flow near the model and on the heat flux toward its surface is investigated. Schlieren
patterns of the flow about the model, photographic scans of the discharge glow, and heat flux measurements are taken. It is
found that the magnetic field has an effect on the gasdynamic pattern of the flow near the model and on the heat flux toward
its surface. The dependence of MHD effects on the external voltage polarity is also revealed. 相似文献

We propose a semiconductor device with two p–i–n junctions maintained at two different temperatures. When the current injected in the device due to this temperature difference exceeds a threshold value, a superradiant field is created in the first gate that induces an additional current in the second gate. The injection current is amplified by this reaction loop. In this way, the heat flow between the two junctions is partially transformed in superradiant power. 相似文献

The critical current of a new structure, the superconducting differential double contour interferometer (DDCI), investigated recently, depends on the parity of the sum of quantum numbers of the two superconducting loops connected in two points by two Josephson junctions. The theory confirms that the DDCI structure can be used for the ideal readout of quantum states of the flux qubit. Large jumps in the critical current and voltage enables to observe continuously the change in time the state of the flux qubit. Such observations can have fundamental importance for the investigation of macroscopic quantum systems with strongly discrete spectrum such as the flux qubit. The DDCI structure can also be used for precise measurement of a very weak magnetic field. 相似文献

SQUIDs using Superconductor-Semiconductor-Superconductor (SSmS) proximity effect Josephson junctions were prepared and noise measurements were carried out. Since SSmS junctions are basic elements of Josephson field effect transistors (JoFETs), information about dynamic properties of JoFETs can be gained in this way. A planar geometry was used for the SSmS junctions, with a single crystalline silicon wafer acting as both, substrate and proximity layer. Rf- and dc-SQUIDs could be realized. When the SQUIDs were operated in a flux locked loop, flux noise values comparable to conventional tunnel junction SQUIDs were measured. 相似文献

This paper investigates numerically the characteristics of subcooled flow boiling of a magnetic nanofluid (refrigerant-113 and 4 vol% Fe3O4) in a vertical annulus, which is exposed to a nonuniform transverse magnetic field generated by the quadrupole magnet. A control volume technique and SIMPLEC algorithm have been used for discretizing the governing equations and pressure-velocity coupling, respectively. The two-fluid model has been used to simulate subcooled flow boiling of the refrigerant-113. The results indicate that subcooled flow boiling characteristics change not only by using nanofluid as the working fluid, but also by applying the nonuniform transverse magnetic field. In the presence of the aforementioned magnetic field due to the Kelvin force, the fluid attracted to the outer wall. This leads to higher bubble detachment frequency so that the heat pumping is increased and the void fraction on the heated wall is decreased. Thus, the critical heat flux as one of the most important parameters in boiling processes will be increased. 相似文献

We report the fabrication and characterization of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) made of Sb-doped Bi2Se3 topological insulator (TI) nanoribbon (NR) contacted with PbIn superconducting electrodes. When an external magnetic field was applied along the NR axis, the TI NR exhibited periodic magneto-conductance oscillations, the so-called Aharonov-Bohm oscillations, owing to one-dimensional subbands. Below the superconducting transition temperature of PbIn electrodes, we observed supercurrent flow through TI NR-based SQUID. The critical current periodically modulates with a magnetic field perpendicular to the SQUID loop, revealing that the periodicity corresponds to the superconducting flux quantum. Our experimental observations can be useful to explore Majorana bound states (MBS) in TI NR, promising for developing topological quantum information devices. 相似文献

We present a study on low-Tc superconductor-insulator-ferromagnet-superconductor (SIFS) Josephson junctions. SIFS junctions have gained considerable interest
in recent years because they show a number of interesting properties for future classical and quantum computing devices. We
optimized the fabrication process of these junctions to achieve a homogeneous current transport, ending up with high-quality
samples. Depending on the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer and on temperature, the SIFS junctions are in the ground state
with a phase drop of either 0 or π. By using a ferromagnetic layer with variable step-like thickness along the junction, we
obtained a so-called 0–π Josephson junction, in which 0 and π ground states compete with each other. At a certain temperature
the 0 and π parts of the junction are perfectly symmetric, i.e. the absolute critical current densities are equal. In this
case the degenerate ground state corresponds to a vortex of supercurrent circulating clock- or counterclockwise and creating
a magnetic flux which carries a fraction of the magnetic flux quantum Φ0.
