Abstract.
A double SQUID manipulated by fast magnetic flux pulses can be used as a tunable flux qubit. In this paper we study the requirements for the qubit operation and evaluate the dissipation and decoherence due to the manipulation, with particular attention to the contribution related to the applied tuning control, not present in simpler flux qubits. Furthermore, we shortly discuss the possibility to use an integrated Rapid Single Flux Quantum logic for the qubit control.
