The remaining major obstacle towards high element densities on-chip is a relatively large cell size necessary to hold a magnetic flux quantum {\^I}{\textbrokenbar}0. Inserting a {\"I}{\texteuro}-type Josephson junction in the cell is equivalent to applying flux {\^I}{\textbrokenbar}0/2 and thus makes it possible to solve this problem. Moreover, using {\"I}{\texteuro}-junctions in superconducting qubits may help to protect them from noise. Here we demonstrate the operation of three superconducting circuits-two of them are classical and one quantum-that all utilize such {\"I}{\texteuro}-phase shifters realized using superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor sandwich technology. The classical circuits are based on single-flux-quantum cells, which are shown to be scalable and compatible with conventional niobium-based superconducting electronics. The quantum circuit is a {\"I}{\texteuro}-biased phase qubit, for which we observe coherent Rabi oscillations. We find no degradation of the measured coherence time compared to that of a reference qubit without a {\"I}{\texteuro}-junction.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=805), last updated on Wed, 09 May 2012 11:59:41 -0500" }
