ENTANGLEMENT BETWEEN CHARGE AND FLUX QUBITS

Qinghong Liao, Xin Liu, Muhammad Ashfaq Ahmad

Published Dec 3, 2013• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Following the scheme proposed by X. L. He et al. [Phys. Rev. B76 (2007) 024517], we investigate the generation of a maximally entangled state between the charge and flux qubits. It is shown that macroscopic Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) pairs can be created and the entanglement can be long-lived. Since the large Josephson junction is only virtually excited, no quantum information will be transferred from the charge and flux qubits to the large Josephson junction. Based on the strong inductive coupling, a fast entanglement operation can be achieved.

Entanglement and teleportation of macroscopic continuous variables by superconducting devices

Lior Fisch, I. E. Mazets, Gershon Kurizki

A current-biased low-temperature superconducting Josephson junction (JJ) is dynamically describable by the quantized motion of a fictitious particle in a "washboard" potential. The long coherence time of tightly-bound states in the washboard potential of a JJ has prompted the effort to couple JJs and operate them as entangled qubits, capable of forming building blocks of a scalable quantum computer. Here we consider a hitherto unexplored quantum aspect of coupled JJs: the ability to produce Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement of their continuous variables, namely, their magnetic fluxes and induced charges. Such entanglement, apart from its conceptual novelty, is the prerequisite for a far-reaching goal: teleportation of the flux and charge variables between JJs, implementing the transfer of an unknown quantum state along a network of such devices.

Entanglement and Bell states in superconducting flux qubits

Mun Dae Kim, Sam Young Cho

We theoretically study macroscopic quantum entanglement in two superconducting flux qubits. To manipulate the state of two flux qubits, a Josephson junction is introduced in the connecting loop coupling the qubits. Increasing the coupling energy of the Josephson junction makes it possible to achieve relatively strong coupling between the qubits, causing two-qubit tunneling processes to be even dominant over the single-qubit tunneling processes in the states of two qubits. It is shown that due to the two-qubit tunneling processes, both the ground state and excited states of the coupled flux qubits can be a Bell type of maximally entangled state, in experimentally accessible regimes. The parameter regimes for the Bell states are discussed in terms of magnetic flux and Josephson coupling energies.

ENTANGLEMENT BETWEEN TWO SUPERCONDUCTING CHARGE QUBITS

Eugene K. Bashkirov

In this paper, we investigated the dynamics of entanglement of two identical charge qubits with Josephson junctions in the case when one of the qubits is exposed to a microwave field in a coherent or thermal state. We have found the exact solution of the quantum time equation of evolution of the system under consideration for the statistical operator in the case of initial separable and entangled states of qubits. The exact solution for the complete statistical operator is used to calculate the qubit entanglement criterion - concurrence. The results of numerical simulation of the time dependence of the concurrence in the case of the coherent field showed that, with a certain choice of model parameters, the system can realize long-lived entangled states. It is also shown that for the thermal state of the field and the entangled initial state of qubits, the qubits retain a certain degree of entanglement during evolution even in the case of very intensive fields. In this case, for any intensities of thermal noise, there is no effect of the sudden death of entanglement.

Switchable coupling between charge and flux qubits

Xiao-Ling He, J. Q. You, Yu-xi Liu +2 more

We propose a hybrid quantum circuit with both charge and flux qubits connected to a large Josephson junction that gives rise to an effective interqubit coupling controlled by the external magnetic flux. This switchable interqubit coupling can be used to transfer back and forth an arbitrary superposition state between the charge qubit and the flux qubit working at the optimal point. The proposed hybrid circuit provides a promising quantum memory because the flux qubit at the optimal point can store the tranferred quantum state for a relatively long time.

GENERATING QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT IN SCALABLE SUPERCONDUCTING CHARGE QUBITS

Wen Yi Huo, GUI LU LONG

We propose an efficient scheme to generate quantum entanglement in scalable superconducting charge qubits with a one-dimensional superconducting transmission line resonator (STLR) as data bus. The coupling between qubit and data bus may be turned on and off by controlling the DC gate voltage and externally applied flux of the superconducting charge qubit. In our proposal, the entanglement between two arbitrary qubits and W states of three qubits can be generated quickly and easily.

ENTANGLEMENT OF TWO COUPLED CHARGE QUBITS

Yu. A. Pashkin, Todd Tilma, D. V. Averin +5 more

We have analyzed the entanglement of a system of two coupled charge qubits. We calculate the amount of entanglement using several different approaches. We show that in the ideal case the system remains entangled most of the time and the amount of entanglement reaches almost unity, i.e. the system becomes maximally entangled at certain instances.
