Figure Lengend Snippet: a Schematical representation of a fluxonium qubit, defined by a Josephson junction with energy E J and a capacitance C 1 in parallel with a inductance L 1 , galvanically coupled to a L C resonator. First eigenstates of the fluxonium qubit for ϕ ext = π ( b ) and ϕ ext = 3 π /4 ( c ). In the latter, the parity symmetry is broken. In both cases, the dashed black line correspond to the potential. Comparison of the eigenvalues in the full model (solid blue line), the standard QRM (dashed green line), and the RQRM (dotted red line), as a function of the normalized coupling g / ω c , and for ϕ ext = π ( d ) and ϕ ext = 49 π /50 ( e ). As for the real atoms case, the renormalization gives better results. f Time evolution of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\langle i(\hat{a}-{\hat{a}}^{{\dagger} })\rangle$$\end{document} ⟨ i ( a ^ − a ^ † ) ⟩ after a π -pulse on the qubit and in the case of ϕ ext = 49 π /50. The renormalized QRM provides a better agreement with the full model. The parameters used in this Figure are: E C = q 2 /(2 C 1 ) = 2.5 GHz, E L = ( ℏ /2 q ) 2 / L 1 = 0.5 GHz, E J = 9 GHz, and ω c = 3 ω 10 , which reproduce typical experimental values for fluxonium qubits , . For the π -pulse, we used ω dr = E 10 , σ dr = 50/( E 21 − E 10 ) and t 0 = 3 σ dr (see Methods).
