Abstract
We present a superconducting tunnel junction circuit which behaves as a controllable atom, and whose ground and first excited state form an effective spin 1/2. By applying microwave pulses, we have performed on this circuit experiments demonstrating the controlled manipulation of the spin : Rabi precession, Ramsey interferences, and spin echoes.
