Loop formed by the hybrid quantum system.

Caption

Artist’s illustration of the loop formed by the hybrid quantum system. Spinning tops represent qubits and springs represent quantum oscillators, together forming the plaquette geometry studied in the experiment and extending into a repeating lattice pattern. The central loop is pierced by an Aharonov-Bohm flux, highlighting one of the main results of the work. Image credit: Dr Helene Hainzer, Dr Sebastian Saner, Dr Gabriel Araneda and Dr Oana Bazavan.
