High quality factors, strong nonlinearities, and extensive design flexibility make superconducting circuits an ideal platform to investigate synchronization phenomena deep in the quantum regime. Recently~\cite{Loerch-2017}, it was predicted…

The use of qubits as sensitive magnetometers has been studied theoretically and recent demonstrated experimentally. In this paper we propose a generalisation of this concept, where a scanning two-state quantum system is used to probe the…

Identifying the microscopic origins of decoherence sources prevalent in Josephson junction based circuits is central to their use as functional quantum devices. Focussing on so called "strongly coupled" two-level defects, we construct a…

A scheme for the generation of the cluster states based on the Josephson charge qubit is proposed. The two-qubit generating case is first introduced, and then generalized to multi-qubit case. The scheme is simple and easily manipulated,…

We derive the effective hamiltonian for a charge-Josephson qubit in a circuit with no use of phenomenological arguments, showing how energy renormalizations induced by the environment appear with no need of phenomenological counterterms.…

Equilibrium thermal noise is known to destroy any quantum phase transition. What are the effects of non-equilibrium noise? In two recent papers we have considered the specific case of a resistively-shunted Josephson junction driven by $1/f$…

We investigate a superconducting qubit coupled to a quantum acoustic system in a near resonant configuration. In our system we measure multiphonon transitions, whose spectrum reveals distinctly nonclassical features and thus provides direct…

Parasitic two-level tunneling systems originating from structural material defects affect the functionality of various microfabricated devices by acting as a source of noise. In particular, superconducting quantum bits may be sensitive to…

We investigate the decoherence and dephasing of two coupled Josephson qubits. With the interaction between the qubits being generated by current-current correlations, two different situations in which the qubits are coupled to the same…

Low-capacitance Josephson junction arrays in the parameter range where single charges can be controlled are suggested as possible physical realizations of the elements which have been considered in the context of quantum computers. We…

Remarkably, complex assemblies of superconducting wires, electrodes, and Josephson junctions are compactly described by a handful of collective phase degrees of freedom that behave like quantum particles in a potential. The inductive wires…

We show two effects as a result of considering the second-order correction to the spectrum of a nanomechanical resonator electrostatically coupled to a Cooper-pair box. The spectrum of the Cooper-pair box is modified in a way which depends…

We study decoherence due to low frequency noise in Josephson qubits. Non-Markovian classical noise due to switching impurities determines inhomogeneous broadening of the signal. The theory is extended to include effects of high-frequency…

We analyze the quantum dynamics of two electromagnetic oscillators coupled in series to a voltage biased Josephson junction. When the applied voltage leads to a Josephson frequency across the junction which matches the sum of the two mode…

We analyze the quantum dynamics of a superconducting cavity coupled to a voltage biased Josephson junction. The cavity is strongly excited at resonances where the voltage energy lost by a Cooper pair traversing the circuit is a multiple of…

We propose a scheme to implement a quantum information transfer protocol with a superconducting circuit and Josephson charge qubits. The information exchange is mediated by an L-C resonator used as a data bus. The main decoherence sources…

One of the key problems facing superconducting qubits and other Josephson junction devices is the decohering effects of bi-stable material defects. Although a variety of phenomenological models exist, the true microscopic origin of these…

This paper applies recent results on the robust stability of nonlinear quantum systems to the case of a Josephson junction in a resonant cavity. The Josephson junction is characterized by a Hamiltonian operator which contains a…

We investigate the quantum dynamics of a Cooper-pair box with a superconducting loop in the presence of a nonclassical microwave field. We demonstrate the existence of Rabi oscillations for both single- and multi-photon processes and,…

Quantum information processing requires a high degree of isolation from the detrimental effects of the environment as well as an extremely precise level of control on the way quantum dynamics unfolds in the information-processing system. In…
