Quantum non-demolition measurement of a superconducting qubit

Adrian Lupaşcu, Shiro Saito, Thomas Picot +5 more

We present experiments that address the issue of measurement of superconducting qubits. A quantum non‐demolition (QND) type of readout is used to implement a projective measurement, which is an important component of many protocols in quantum information. The state of a persistent current qubit is measured using a driven non‐linear resonator, based on DC‐SQUID whose Josephson inductance is qubit‐state dependent. When properly optimized, the readout is efficient and projective. We discuss the relation between the concept of QND detection and the observed projective character of the measurement.

Quantum state detection of a superconducting flux qubit using a dc-SQUID in the inductive mode

Adrian Lupaşcu, C. J. P. M. Harmans, Johan E. Mooij

We present a readout method for superconducting flux qubits. The qubit quantum flux state can be measured by determining the Josephson inductance of an inductively coupled dc superconducting quantum interference device (dc-SQUID). We determine the response function of the dc-SQUID and its back-action on the qubit during measurement. Due to driving, the qubit energy relaxation rate depends on the spectral density of the measurement circuit noise at sum and difference frequencies of the qubit Larmor frequency and SQUID driving frequency. The qubit dephasing rate is proportional to the spectral density of circuit noise at the SQUID driving frequency. These features of the back-action are qualitatively different from the case when the SQUID is used in the usual switching mode. For a particular type of readout circuit with feasible parameters we find that single shot readout of a superconducting flux qubit is possible.
