Environmentally decoupled sds-wave Josephson junctions for quantum computing

Article Abstract:

It has been possible to develop a Josephson junction using unconventional superconductors with order-parameter symmetry lower than the symmetry of the underlying crystal lattice. This two-level system is naturally bistable, needing no external bias. The positive (100) and negative (010) lobes of a d-wave superconductor are connected with a s-wave material, producing a pi-loop with a current-carrying ground state characteristic of d-wave symmetry. The Josephson junction can be switched with minimal external contact.

Quantum superposition of distinct macroscopic states

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the insertion of a superconducting quantum interference device into two states. One magnetic-flux state corresponds to a few microamperes flowing anticlockwise, and the other flowing clockwise.

Schrodinger's cat is now fat

Article Abstract:

The use of potential wells to describe the states which are preferred by a system is presented. The rules of quantum mechanics which determine the behavior of particles are discussed.
