Alternative numerical modeling of a superconducting charge qubit as an eigenvalue problem
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2011) Canturk, Mehmet; Kurt, Erol; Askerzade, Iman N.; Computer Engineering
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to employ an alternative numerical approach to analyze the characteristics of superconducting charge qubit based on a single Cooper pair box (SCB), also to study the influence of the bias current. Design/methodology/approach - The paper starts with the circuit model of a charge qubit system based on Josephson junction using Hamiltonian formalism. Corresponding Schrodinger eigenvalue problem with periodic boundary condition is converted to the Mathieu type eigenvalue problem. By applying finite difference technique, energy spectrum of charge qubit is obtained and the solutions in the lowest band are obtained in the form of Bloch waves whose superposition provides a wave packet to investigate the effect of bias current to the Coulomb blockade. Findings - The paper identifies a periodic tridiagonal Hermitian matrix form of the eigenvalue problem that is believed to be a special eigenvalue problem. The paper emphasizes that Schrodinger formalism is very, useful to model superconducting qubits systems. The investigations indicate that the bias current strongly influences the Coulomb blockade and expectation value of supercurrent (as well as number of Cooper pairs) are affected by gate voltage and energy scale. Research limitations/implications - In the present study, Schrodinger eigenvalue problem is time independent, therefore, current-voltage characteristics of the charge qubit system could not be considered. The solution technique applied here can also be used to apply other type of Josephson junction based qubits and circuits. Practical implications - The paper includes theoretical findings for the development of superconducting qubit that can be valuable for experimentalist. The result obtained in this study is useful for the comparison of experimental study with the expectation value of number of Cooper pairs as function of gate voltage. Working parameters of a SCB can be determined from the findings. Originality/value This paper fulfils the contribution of the numerical study of Schrodinger equation for the investigation of superconducting qubits under the influence of bias current.

BIFURCATIONS AND HYPERCHAOS FROM A DC DRIVEN NONIDENTICAL JOSEPHSON JUNCTION SYSTEM
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2010) Kurt, Erol; Canturk, Mehmet; Computer Engineering
The dynamics of a resistively coupled system of nonidentical Josephson junctions (JJ) with dc feedings is explored theoretically. The effects of system parameters on the dynamic features are defined and equilibrium features of the system of equations are explored in such a nonidentical JJ system for the first time. By using center manifold reduction, the inverse of coupling resistance R-cp is considered as the main bifurcation parameter. The bifurcation at the vicinity of the equilibrium point is found to be transcritical, stable and unstable regimes are also indicated analytically. It is observed that the amplitudes of the output voltages on the coupling resistance R-cp are changeable and mostly uncorrelated for two parts of superconducting junction system. Such a system exhibits very rich dynamics from periodic to chaotic behavior for certain parameter sets. While the regular characteristics are observed for moderate and lower feeding currents, chaotic and highly-complex patterns are obtained for relatively higher values of them. Besides, a wider hyperchaotic region is found for wide ranges of parameters after the determination of phase diagrams compared to the earlier studies. The nonidentical nature of JJs governs the complicated dynamics on the phase space. The present circuitry can be utilized for various purposes such as stable, chaotic or hyperchaotic behavior depending on the parameters I-i and R-cp.

Chaotic dynamics of resistively coupled DC-driven distinct Josephson junctions and the effects of circuit parameters
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) Kurt, Erol; Canturk, Mehmet; Computer Engineering
Two distinct Josephson junctions (JJs) connected with a constant coupling resistance R(cp) are theoretically considered to investigate the overall dynamics below and above the critical current I(c). The circuit model of the device is driven by two DC current sources, I(1) and I(2). Each junction is characterized by a nonlinear resistive-capacitive junction (NRCSJ). Having constructed the circuit model, time-dependent simulations are carried out for a variety of control parameter sets. Common techniques such as bifurcation diagrams, two-dimensional attractors and Lyapunov exponents are applied for the determination of chaotic as well as periodic dynamics of the superconducting junction devices. According to the findings, two states (namely superconducting and ordinary conducting) are determined as functions of the source currents. The chaotic current which flows through Rcp exhibits a very rich behavior depending on the source currents I(1) and I(2) and junction capacitances C(1) and C(2). The device characteristics are summarized by a number of three-dimensional phase diagrams in the parameter space. In addition, for certain parameters, hyper-chaotic cases with two positive Lyapunov exponents are encountered. In contrast to earlier studies claiming the need for a sinusoidal feeding current for generating a chaotic signal, our circuitry can easily generate one via a DC source. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Phase-dependent characteristics of a superconducting junction by using the Schrodinger wave function
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2007) Canturk, M.; Kurt, E.; Computer Engineering
As a macroscopic quantum system, superconducting junction devices are considered both analytically and numerically with the help of the Schrodinger wave equation. Considering the Cooper pair wave function psi in a time-dependent nature, the Hamiltonian of the system is constructed. The phase difference theta is assumed to be a unique independent variable of the superconducting junction in order to evaluate the characteristics of the system. The probability rho(theta) and super current j(theta) densities are determined for different applied voltages V. It is observed that both the amplitude and the period of the wave function psi(theta) have indicated different behaviors as functions of theta for various cases of V. Similarly, rho and j reflect drastic changes. It is shown that numerical results are in good agreement with the analytic results. Our results indicate consistency with some earlier experimental studies for different superconducting devices.
