Superconducting circuits have played an essential role in realizing quantum mechanical phenomena in macroscopic systems. One such example is the observation of macroscopic resonant tunneling (MRT) of magnetic flux between the lowest energy states of single rf-SQUID flux qubits, as demonstrated by several groups [1–4]. These measurements provide both a clear signature of quantum mechanics in a macroscopic circuit at a finite temperature and in the presence of noise and a direct means of…
