Abstract
Nonlinear effects in mesoscopic devices can have both quantum and classical origins. We show that a three-Josephson-junction (3JJ) flux qubit in the classical regime can produce low-frequency oscillations in the presence of an external field in resonance with the (high-frequency) harmonic mode $\ensuremath{\omega}$ of the system. Like in the case of quantum Rabi oscillations, the frequency of these pseudo-Rabi oscillations is much smaller than $\ensuremath{\omega}$ and scales approximately linearly with the amplitude of the external field. This classical effect can be reliably distinguished from its quantum counterpart because it can be produced by the external drive not only at the resonance frequency $\ensuremath{\omega}$ and its subharmonics $(\ensuremath{\omega}/n)$, but also at its overtones, $n\ensuremath{\omega}$.
