DC measurements are made in a superconducting, persistent current qubit structure with a time-ordered meter. The persistent-current qubit has a double-well potential, with the two minima corresponding to magnetization states of opposite sign. Macroscopic resonant tunneling between the two wells is observed at values of energy bias that correspond to the positions of the calculated quantum levels. The magnetometer, a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID), detects the state of the qubit in a time-ordered fashion, measuring one state before the other. This results in a different meter output depending on the initial state, providing different signatures of the energy levels for each tunneling direction. From these measurements, the intrawell relaxation time is found to be about 50 microseconds.

Measurements of thermal activation are made in a superconducting, niobium Persistent-Current (PC) qubit structure, which has two stable classical states of equal and opposite circulating current. The magnetization signal is read out by ramping the bi
as current of a DC SQUID. This ramping causes time-ordered measurements of the two states, where measurement of one state occurs before the other. This time-ordering results in an effective measurement time, which can be used to probe the thermal activation rate between the two states. Fitting the magnetization signal as a function of temperature and ramp time allows one to estimate a quality factor of 10^6 for our devices, a value favorable for the observation of long quantum coherence times at lower temperatures.
Single-shot readout experiments were performed on the two lowest-energy states of a superconducting qubit with three Josephson junctions embedded in a superconducting loop. We measured the qubit state via switching current Isw of a current-biased dc-
SQUID, a quantum detector surrounding the qubit loop. The qubit signals were measured in a small Isw regime of the SQUID, typically less than 100 nA, where the Isw distribution is particularly narrow. The obtained single-shot data indicate that the qubit state is readout, through the flux generated by the qubit persistent-current, as energy eigenstates rather than current eigenstates.
We have observed the coherent exchange of a single energy quantum between a flux qubit and a superconducting LC circuit acting as a quantum harmonic oscillator. The exchange of an energy quantum is known as the vacuum Rabi oscillations: the qubit is
oscillating between the excited state and the ground state and the oscillator between the vacuum state and the first excited state. We have also obtained evidence of level quantization of the LC circuit by observing the change in the oscillation frequency when the LC circuit was not initially in the vacuum state.
Creating a transmon qubit using semiconductor-superconductor hybrid materials not only provides electrostatic control of the qubit frequency, it also allows parts of the circuit to be electrically connected and disconnected in situ by operating a sem
iconductor region of the device as a field-effect transistor (FET). Here, we exploit this feature to compare in the same device characteristics of the qubit, such as frequency and relaxation time, with related transport properties such as critical supercurrent and normal-state resistance. Gradually opening the FET to the monitoring circuit allows the influence of weak-to-strong DC monitoring of a live qubit to be measured. A model of this influence yields excellent agreement with experiment, demonstrating a relaxation rate mediated by a gate-controlled environmental coupling.
We study self-sustained oscillations (SO) in a Nb superconducting stripline resonators (SSR) integrated with a DC superconducting quantum interface devices (SQUID). We find that both the power threshold where these oscillations start and the oscillat
ions frequency are periodic in the applied magnetic flux threading the SQUID loop. A theoretical model which attributes the SO to a thermal instability in the DC-SQUID yields a good agreement with the experimental results. This flux dependant nonlinearity may be used for quantum state reading of a qubit-SSR integrated device.
