Merging diabolical points of a superconducting circuit
arXiv:1111.3671 · doi:10.5488/CMP.16.33801
Abstract
We present the first theoretical study of the merging of diabolical points in the context of superconducting circuits. We begin by studying an analytically solvable four-level model which may serve as theoretical pattern for such a phenomenon. Then, we apply it to a circuit named Cooper pairs pump, whose diabolical points are already known.
