• Abstract: In the design and investigation of superconducting qubits and related devices, a lumped element circuit model is the standard theoretical approach. However, many important physical questions lie beyond its scope, e.g. the behavior of circuits with strong Josephson junctions carrying substantial currents and the properties of small superconducting devices. By performing gauge transformations on self-consistent solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, we develop here a formalism that treats Josephson couplings non-perturbatively. We apply the formalism to (a) show that Fermi sea effects can contribute to the effective capacitance of small charge qubits; (b) demonstrate an asymmetry in clockwise and counterclockwise current states in small RF squid qubits; and (c) provide a microscopic wavefunction of superconducting Schrodinger cats suitable for computing the number of entangled electrons.

  Superconductivity and charge density waves are observed in close vicinity in strongly correlated materials. We investigate the nature of such an intertwined state of matter stabilized in the phase diagram of the elementary $t$-$tprime$-$U$ Hubbard model. We provide conclusive evidence that the macroscopic wave functions of the superconducting fragments are well-described by soliton solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau equation.

  Superconductors induce long-range interactions between the spin degrees of freedom of quantum dots. We show that this anisotropy is tunable and enables fast and high-fidelity two-qubit gates between singlet-triplet (ST) spin qubits. Our design is immune to leakage of the quantum information into noncomputational states.
