Abstract

We propose a design for a qubit with four superconducting islands in the topology of a symmetric tetrahedron, uniformly frustrated with one-half flux quantum per loop and one-half Cooper pair per island. This structure emulates a noise-resistant spin-1/2 system in a vanishing magnetic field. The flux frustration boosts quantum fluctuations and relieves the constraints on junction fabrication. Variability of manipulation and optimized readout are additional benefits of this design.
