30. Conclusions • Superconducting flux qubits are well described by two-level (pseudospin) Hamiltonian • Experimental data obtained from adiabatic and spectroscopic measurement are consistent and fully agree with the quantum-mechanical predictions to the experimental accuracy. • The qubit can be used as an artificial atom for Sisyphus cooling of a low frequency oscillator (electrical, nanomechanical, etc.)
