Geometric nature of the environment-induced Berry phase and geometric dephasing
Robert S. Whitney, Yuriy Makhlin, Alexander Shnirman +1
We investigate the geometric phase or Berry phase (BP) acquired by a spin-half which is both subject to a slowly varying magnetic field and weakly-coupled to a dissipative environm…
Cavity QED in superconducting circuits: susceptibility at elevated temperatures
Ileana Rau, Göran Johansson, Alexander Shnirman
We study the properties of superconducting electrical circuits, realizing cavity QED. In particular we explore the limit of strong coupling, low dissipation, and elevated temperatu…
Spin and Current Variations in Josephson Junctions
A. Shnirman, Z. Nussinov, Jian-Xin Zhu +2
We study the dynamics of a single spin embedded in the tunneling barrier between two superconductors. As a consequence of pair correlations in the superconducting state, the spin d…
