Abstract

We present evidence for transitions between fluxoid wells of a SQUID due to cascaded, two-photon processes. Such transitions are evidenced by an anomalous dependence on the transition rate from the one-photon resonant level within the initial well, which cannot be explained by previously observed macroscopic resonant tunneling. These two-photon processes may be a significant source of decoherence in SQUID qubits subject to microwave radiation.
