We have studied the low-frequency magnetic susceptibility of two inductively coupled flux qubits using the impedance measurement technique (IMT), through their influence on the resonant properties of a weakly coupled high-quality tank circuit. In a single qubit, an IMT dip in the tanks current--voltage phase angle at the level anticrossing yields the amplitude of coherent flux tunneling. For two qubits, the difference (IMT deficit) between the sum of single-qubit dips and the dip amplitude when both qubits are at degeneracy shows that the system is in a mixture of entangled states (a necessary condition for entanglement). The dependence on temperature and relative bias between the qubits allows one to determine all the parameters of the effective Hamiltonian and equilibrium density matrix, and confirms the formation of entangled eigenstates.

We study theoretically how decoherence affects superposition states composed of entangled states in inductively coupled two superconducting flux-qubits. We discover that the quantum fluctuation of an observable in a coupled flux-qubit system plays a crucial role in decoherence when the expectation value of the observable is zero. This examplifies that decoherence can be also induced through a quantum mechanically higher-order effect. We also find that there exists a decoherence free subspace for the environment coupled via a charge degree of freedom of the qubit system.
An effective Hamiltonian is derived for two coupled three-Josephson-junction (3JJ) qubits. This is not quite trivial, for the customary free 3JJ Hamiltonian is written in the limit of zero inductance L. Neglecting the self-flux is already dubious for one qubit when it comes to readout, and becomes untenable when discussing inductive coupling. First, inductance effects are analyzed for a single qubit. For small L, the self-flux is a fast variable which can be eliminated adiabatically. However, the commonly used junction phases are_not_ appropriate slow variables, and instead one introduces degrees of freedom which are decoupled from the loop current to leading order. In the quantum case, the zero-point fluctuations (LC oscillations) in the loop current diverge as L->0. Fortunately, they merely renormalize the Josephson couplings of the effective (two-phase) theory. In the coupled case, the strong zero-point fluctuations render the full (six-phase) wave function significantly entangled in leading order. However, in going to the four-phase theory, this uncontrollable entanglement is integrated out completely, leaving a computationally usable mutual-inductance term of the expected form as the effective interaction.
We have carried out spectroscopic measurements of a system of three strongly coupled four-junction flux qubits. The samples studied cover a wide range of parameters with the coupling energy between neighboring qubits varying between 0.75 GHz and 6.05 GHz. The observed complicated spectra agree well with eight-level theory. The experiments are relevant for the realization of a tunable coupling between qubits.
We characterize a pair of Cooper-pair boxes coupled with a fixed capacitor using spectroscopy and measurements of the ground-state quantum capacitance. We use the extracted parameters to estimate the concurrence, or degree of entanglement between the two qubits. We also present a thorough demonstration of a multiplexed quantum capacitance measurement technique, which is in principle scalable to a large array of superconducting qubits.
We have investigated decoherence in Josephson-junction flux qubits. Based on the measurements of decoherence at various bias conditions, we discriminate contributions of different noise sources. In particular, we present a Gaussian decay function of the echo signal as evidence of dephasing due to $1/f$ flux noise whose spectral density is evaluated to be about $(10^{-6} Phi_0)^2$/Hz at 1 Hz. We also demonstrate that at an optimal bias condition where the noise sources are well decoupled the coherence observed in the echo measurement is mainly limited by energy relaxation of the qubit.
