We showed that such ring can be effectively reduced to a two-state system with two external control parameters. The two states carry opposite persistent currents and are coupled by tunneling which leads to a quantum superposition of states. The qubit states can be manipulated by resonant microwave pulses. The flux state of the sample can be measured by a SQUID magnetometer. Two or more qubits can be coupled by the flux the circulating currents generate. The problem of decoherence is also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-09-06T12:54:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "flux qubit", "mesoscopic nonsuperconducting ring", "mesoscopic ballistic quasi 1d", "ballistic quasi 1d ring", "states carry opposite persistent currents" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
