Abstract
We consider a superconducting phase qubit consisting of a monocrystalline sapphire Josephson junction with symmetry axis perpendicular to the junction interfaces. Via the London gauge we present a theoretical model of Fe3+ magnetic impurities within the junction that describes the effect of a low concentration of impurities on the operation of a superconducting phase qubit. Specifically, we derive an interaction Hamiltonian expressed in terms of angular momentum states of the magnetic impurities and low-lying oscillator states of the qubit. We comment on the coherent coupling between qubit and magnetic impurities within the model, including the near-resonance behavior of qubit and Fe3+ electron states. 85.25.Dq,Citation
