Abstract:
We investigate the backaction of superconducting single-electron transistor (SSET) continuously measuring a Cooper-pair box. Due to the minimized backaction of the SSET, we observe a 2e periodic Coulomb staircase according to the two-level system Hamiltonian of the Cooper-pair box. We demonstrate that we can control the quantum broadening of the ground state in-situ. We perform spectroscopy measurements and demonstrate that we have full control over the Cooper-pair box Hamiltonian. The ability to reduce the backaction is a necessary condition to use the SSET as a quantum state readout for the CPB as a qubit.
