Two-body electrodisintegration of the three-nucleon bound state with Δ-isobar excitation

Electrodisintegration of the three-nucleon bound state with two-body final states is described. The description uses nucleon degrees of freedom extended to include the excitation of a single nucleon to a Δ isobar. The baryonic interaction and the electromagnetic current couple nucleonic states and states with a Δ isobar. Exact solutions of three-particle scattering equations are employed for the initial and final states of the reactions; due to the excitation of the Δ isobar an effective three-nucleon force is included. The current has one-baryon and two-baryon contributions. Theoretical predictions for the reactions with selected kinematic specifications are given. The role of the Δ isobar in the description of the considered processes is discussed and its effect on observables is quantitatively isolated

Weak continuous monitoring of a flux qubit using coplanar waveguide resonator

We study a flux qubit in a coplanar waveguide resonator by measuring transmission through the system. In our system with the flux qubit decoupled galvanically from the resonator, the intermediate coupling regime is achieved. In this regime dispersive readout is possible with weak backaction on the qubit. The detailed theoretical analysis and simulations give a good agreement with the experimental data and allow to make the qubit characterization.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Phys.
