The value of the coupling capacitance is given by the discretized curvature of the lowest energy band of a Josephson junction, which can be positive, negative, or zero. We calculate the charging diagram of the two-qubit system that reflects the transition from positive to negative through vanishing coupling. We also discuss how to construct a phase gate making use of the controllable coupling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-07-28T11:27:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "variable electrostatic transformer", "controllable coupling", "josephson charge qubits", "lowest energy band", "phase gate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
