Vertical Josephson Interferometer for Tunable Flux Qubit

C. Granata, Antonio Vettoliere, Mikhail Lisitskiy +6 more

We present a niobium-based Josephson device as prototype for quantum computation with flux qubits. The most interesting feature of this device is the use of a Josephson vertical interferometer to tune the flux qubit allowing the control of the off-diagonal Hamiltonian terms of the system. In the vertical interferometer, the Josephson current is precisely modulated from a maximum to zero with fine control by a small transversal magnetic field parallel to the rf superconducting loop plane.

Tunable Josephson Devices for Quantum Computation

Valentina Corato, C. Granata, S. Rombetto +5 more

We present the design and the performances of a vertical Josephson interferometer, which can be inserted within superconducting loops in order to obtain controllable Josephson devices. The most interesting feature of the vertical interferometer is that the Josephson current is precisely controlled by a small transversal magnetic field parallel to the superconducting loop plane and can be modulated from a maximum to zero with high precision. This system can be used to realize a switchable flux transformer to couple quantum bits when desired as well as to vary the critical current of a flux qubit in situ. In the latter application, the vertical interferometer is controlled by a magnetic field orthogonal to the one applied to tilt the qubit potential, thus minimizing the cross talking of the two magnetic fields.

Josephson devices for controllable flux qubit and interqubit coupling

C. Granata, B. Ruggiero, M. Russo +3 more

We present niobium-based Josephson devices as prototypes for applications to quantum computation with flux qubits. The most interesting feature of this device is the use of a Josephson vertical interferometer for a fine tuning of flux qubit and interquibit coupling. These devices allow a control of the off-diagonal Hamiltonian terms of flux qubit and of the flux transfer function of a superconducting transformer. In the vertical interferometer, the Josephson current is precisely modulated from a maximum to zero with fine control and precision by a small transversal magnetic field parallel to the radio-frequency superconducting loop plane and to the flux transformer.
