Measurement and dephasing of a flux qubit due to heat currents

We study a flux qubit made of a superconducting loop interrupted by three Josephson junctions, which is subject to a temperature gradient. We show that the heat current induced by the temperature gradient, being sensitive to the superconducting phase differences at the junctions, depends significant...
