Observation of metastable states in a superconducting Josephson circuit using an Andreev interferometer

We report on measurements of macroscopic quantum states in superconducting Josephson circuits using a highly sensitive hybrid quantum interferometer as the readout probe. The investigated Josephson circuit is one of the leading candidates as solid-state qubits (persistent current qubit), which are k...
