Plantenberg, J.H. (author)This thesis presents results of theoretical and experimental work on superconducting persistent-current quantum bits. These qubits offer an attractive route towards scalable solid-state quantum computing. The focus of this work is on the gradiometer flux qubit which has a special geometric design, that both provides a stable phase bias and...doctoral thesis 2007

Eroms, J. (author), Van Schaarenburg, L.C. (author), Driessen, E.F.C. (author), Plantenberg, J.H. (author), Huizinga, C.M. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Verbruggen, A.H. (author), Harmans, C.J.P.M. (author), Mooij, J.E. (author)The authors have studied low-frequency resistance fluctuations in shadow-evaporated Al/AlOx/Al tunnel junctions. Between 300 and 5?K the spectral density follows a 1/f law. Below 5?K, individual defects distort the 1/f shape of the spectrum. The spectral density decreases linearly with temperature between 150 and 1?K and saturates below 0.8?K....journal article 2006
