Abstract

We propose an efficient and robust protocol for the generation of entanglement between a superconducting qubit and a squeezed cavity. By applying a parametric drive to the cavity coupled to the qubit, the dynamical evolution of the system is precisely described by an anisotropic Rabi model within a squeezed reference frame. Utilizing high-order time-averaging methods, we analytically derive the resonance conditions and the effective Rabi frequency for the high-order three-photon process. By implementing an adiabatic passage, slowly tuning the cavity frequency across the resonance, the system is steered into a maximally entangled state, e.g., between the three-photon state $\ket{g,3}$ and the qubit excited state $\ket{e,0}$ in the squeezed picture. Numerical simulation results confirm the high fidelity and robustness of the proposed protocol. Our method provides a practical pathway for generating complex non-Gaussian entangled states, which are of significant value for fault-tolerant quantum computation and quantum metrology beyond the standard quantum limit.

Error-insensitive preparation of entangled states between a Josephson qubit and microwave photons via invariant-based shortcuts

Run‐Ying Yan, Xiao-Jing Lu, Ming Li +3 more

Optimal preparation of quantum entanglement is of significance to information processing and state engineering. In this paper, an efficient scheme is proposed to implement error-insensitive generation of entangled states between a Josephson qubit and microwave photons by the technique of invariant-based shortcuts to adiabaticity. A superconducting qubit is dispersively coupled to a quantized cavity field of one-dimensional transmission line resonator. Within a considered subspace spanned by three composite states, we deal with an effective interaction of the composite system with two classical drivings. A maximally entangled qubit-photon state can be deterministically induced using a splitting-like quantum state transfer. To nullify the deviation errors of Rabi coupling and frequency detuning, we optimize the driving parameters and then make the entanglement creation insusceptible to these control imperfections. Thanks to the mitigation of deviation effects, robustness against the residual noisy environment could be obtained numerically. The proposed strategy could provide a promising avenue towards fast and robust information processing with superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics.

Shortcuts to Adiabaticity for the Quantum Rabi Model: Efficient Generation of Giant Entangled Cat States via Parametric Amplification

Ye‐Hong Chen, Wei Qin, Xin Wang +2 more

We propose a method for the fast generation of nonclassical ground states of the Rabi model in the ultrastrong and deep-strong coupling regimes via the shortcuts-to-adiabatic (STA) dynamics. The time-dependent quantum Rabi model is simulated by applying parametric amplification to the Jaynes-Cummings model. Using experimentally feasible parametric drive, this STA protocol can generate large-size Schrödinger cat states, through a process that is ∼10 times faster compared to adiabatic protocols. Such fast evolution increases the robustness of our protocol against dissipation. Our method enables one to freely design the parametric drive, so that the target state can be generated in the lab frame. A largely detuned light-matter coupling makes the protocol robust against imperfections of the operation times in experiments.

Efficient generation of arbitrary photon-number-squeezed light via shortcuts to adiabaticity

Jiawen Yu, Ke-Xiong Yan, Yuan Qiu +3 more

The implementation of shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) enables a substantial reduction in the evolution time relative to traditional adiabatic methods, concurrently mitigating detrimental environmental interference. In this manuscript, we present a protocol using STA for the one-step generation of squeezed-light states of arbitrary photons. By starting from different initial Fock states, high-fidelity (>0.99) squeezed-light states can be generated with the same control Hamiltonian. We investigate the protocol's robustness under conditions of systematic errors and environmental noises through numerical simulations, which confirm the feasibility of the proposed scheme. The protocol may facilitate the investigation of quantum state control process, with the potential for significant impact in the near future.

Generation of entangled states between two transmon qubits via invariant-based shortcuts with constant drivings

Xiao-Jing Lu, Zhi‐Bo Feng, Zheng‐Yin Zhao +2 more

Entanglement generation via optimal drivings is of significance for quantum information science and engineering. Here, an efficient scheme is proposed for creating entangled states between two transmon qubits via shortcuts to adiabaticity with constant Rabi drivings. Two three-level atoms of Cooper-pair box circuits are coupled to a common cavity field of transmission-line resonator and individually driven by adjustable classical microwaves. In the regime of large detuning, we obtain an effective three-state system consisting of qubits and cavity photons. By the invariant-based shortcuts with time-independent Rabi drivings, two-qubit entangled states can be rapidly induced from an easily prepared product state. Compared to the entanglement creation with time-dependent Rabi drivings, our protocol not only becomes more feasible in experiment but also needs shorter times. Moreover, high-fidelity quantum operations can be realized with the accessible decoherence rates. The scheme could pave a promising avenue towards optimal generation of entangled states between superconducting qubits.

Efficient Entanglement Generation of Two Superconducting Qubits in a Circuit QED

Run‐Ying Yan, Zhi‐Bo Feng

Abstract The optimal generation of entangled states is of significance to information processing and state engineering. Here, an efficient scheme is proposed for creating entangled states between two superconducting qubits in a circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). The two qubits that resonantly interact with a common cavity mode of transmission‐line resonator (TLR) can be effectively coupled by the data bus of the microwave resonator. By the invariant‐based shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA), two types of maximally entangled states can be controllably induced only by adjusting the Rabi drivings. Based on the resonant drivings with constant rates, the shortcut strategy is capable of implementing faster operations when compared with the dispersive approach. The fidelities are highly robust against the decoherence effects and the instabilities of Rabi rates. Thus the proposal could offer a potential route toward the entanglement generations in an optimized manner.
