The persistent current flux qubit is a Josephson junction based superconducting circuit exhibiting strong anharmonicity and excellent coherence time of more than 10 µ s. However, quantum coherence deteriorates drastically away from an optimal operation point. Moreover, a controlled adjustment of the transition frequency at the optimal point requires excellent stability of the fabrication process. Here, we present the spectroscopic analysis of a gradiometric flux qubit, where the minimal transition frequency, the qubit gap, can be tuned in situ while staying at the point of optimal coherence. We show a tunability of the qubit gap from a few hundreds of megahertz to several gigahertz, making the system suitable for future experiments with coupled qubit-resonator systems.
