(color online) Measured width (blue points) of the hysteresis loop as a function of ϕCJJ along with the theoretical curve (in red color) calculated from the qubit potential for L = 120 pH, Ic = 9.8 μA, and ΔU = 58.0 K. ϕCJJ is obtained through ICJJ divided by period ΔICJJ = 2984 μA. Each point is obtained by averaging 200 repeats at the fixed values of Ibias and ϕsq. The inset shows the measurements of hysteresis loop at different values of ϕCJJ, here, ϕx of the symmetric point is adjusted to 0.5.
