Coherent quantum phase slip in two-component bosonic atomtronic circuits

Coherent quantum phase slip consists in the coherent transfer of vortices in superfluids. We investigate this phenomenon in two miscible coherently coupled components of a spinor Bose gas confined in a toroidal trap. After imprinting different vortex states, i.e. states with quantized circulation, o...

description Coherent quantum phase slip consists in the coherent transfer of vortices in superfluids. We investigate this phenomenon in two miscible coherently coupled components of a spinor Bose gas confined in a toroidal trap. After imprinting different vortex states, i.e. states with quantized circulation, on each component, we demonstrate that during the whole dynamics the system remains in a linear superposition of two current states in spite of the nonlinearity, and can be mapped onto a linear Josephson problem. We propose this system as a good candidate for the realization of a Mooij–Harmans qubit and remark its feasibility for implementation in current experiments with ^87 Rb, since we have used values for the physical parameters currently available in laboratories.
