minimum, i.e. next-to-nearest neighbors in energy.<br />

• The top-right corner corresponds to transitions between states that span<br />

both minima. In the region where the barrier is disappearing (around level<br />

20), the potential looks less and less like a harmonic oscillator. This makes<br />

transitions between non-neighboring states progressively easier.<br />

Since the qubit will be formed by the lowest two energy levels in the shallow<br />

(left) minimum, the transitions <strong>of</strong> interest here are the ones between states<br />
