Abstract

Under resonant irradiation, a quantum system can undergo coherent (Rabi) oscillations in time. We report evidence for such oscillations in a continuously observed three-Josephson-junction flux qubit, coupled to a high-quality tank circuit tuned to the Rabi frequency. In addition to simplicity, this method ofRabi spectroscopy enabled a long coherence time of about 2.5 microseconds, corresponding to an effective qubit quality factor \~7000.
