All-Resonant Control of Superconducting Resonators

Abstract

An all-resonant method is proposed to control the quantum state of superconducting resonators. This approach uses a tunable artificial atom linearly coupled to resonators, and allows for efficient routes to Fock state synthesis, qudit logic operations, and synthesis of NOON states. This resonant approach is theoretically analyzed, and found to perform significantly better than existing proposals using the same technology.

Arbitrary Control of Entanglement between two Superconducting Resonators

Frederick W. Strauch, Kurt A. Jacobs, Raymond W. Simmonds

We present a method to synthesize an arbitrary quantum state of two superconducting resonators. This state-synthesis algorithm utilizes a coherent interaction of each resonator with a tunable artificial atom to create entangled quantum superpositions of photon number (Fock) states in the resonators. We theoretically analyze this approach, showing that it can efficiently synthesize NOON states, with large photon numbers, using existing technology.

Quantum state synthesis of superconducting resonators

Roshan Sharma, Frederick W. Strauch

We present a theoretical analysis of different methods to synthesize entangled states of two quantum mechanical resonators. These methods are inspired by experimentally demonstrated interactions of superconducting resonators with artificial atoms, and offer efficient routes to generate nonclassical states. Using a two-mode Jaynes-Cummings model, we analyze the theoretical structure of these algorithms and their average performance for arbitrary states and for deterministically preparing NOON and maximally entangled states. Using a new state synthesis algorithm, we show that NOON and maximally entangled states can be prepared in a time linear in the desired photon number and without any state-selective interactions.

Collateral Coupling between Superconducting Resonators: Fast High-Fidelity Generation of Qudit-Qudit Entanglement

Pedro Rosário, Alan C. Santos, Celso J. Villas-Bôas +1 more

Superconducting circuits are highly controllable platforms to manipulate quantum states, which make them particularly promising for quantum information processing. We show here how the existence of a distance-independent interaction between microwave resonators coupled capacitively through a qubit offers an alternative control parameter toward this goal. This interaction is able to induce an idling point between resonant resonators, and its state-dependent nature allows one to control the flow of information between the resonators. The advantage of this scheme over the previous one is demonstrated through the generation of high-fidelity NOON states between the resonators, with a lower number of operations than previous schemes. Beyond superconducting circuits, our proposal could also apply to atomic lattices with clock transitions in optical cavities, for example.

Quantum logic gates for superconducting resonator qudits

Frederick W. Strauch

We study quantum information processing using superpositions of Fock states in superconducting resonators as quantum $d$-level systems (qudits). A universal set of single and coupled logic gates is theoretically proposed for resonators coupled by superconducting circuits of Josephson junctions. These gates use experimentally demonstrated interactions and provide an attractive route to quantum information processing using harmonic oscillator modes.

Tunable and switchable coupling between two superconducting resonators

A. Baust, Eric A. Hoffmann, M. Haeberlein +16 more

We realize a device allowing for tunable and switchable coupling between two frequency-degenerate superconducting resonators mediated by an artificial atom. For the latter, we utilize a persistent current flux qubit. We characterize the tunable and switchable coupling in the frequency and time domains and find that the coupling between the relevant modes can be varied in a controlled way. Specifically, the coupling can be tuned by adjusting the flux through the qubit loop or by controlling the qubit population via a microwave drive. Our measurements allow us to find parameter regimes for optimal coupler performance and quantify the tunability range.
