Superconducting non-linear resonator for non-destructive readout of a flux qubit

K. Inomata, 道生渡部, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto +3 more

We have investigated microwave response of a λ/4 superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator which is terminated by a DC-SQUID coupled with a flux qubit. The circuit is designed for non-destructive single-shot readout of a flux qubit based on dispersive interaction between the qubit and the resonator and switching between bistable states of the driven nonlinear resonator. A high-frequency (∼ 10 GHz) resonator is exploited for suppressing photon-number fluctuations which cause qubit dephasing even when the readout circuit is not activated. We observed bifurcation of the resonator in the nonlinear driving regime. In the linear regime, the degeneracy point of the qubit was detected as a shift of the resonant frequency.We have investigated microwave response of a λ/4 superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator which is terminated by a DC-SQUID coupled with a flux qubit.

Robust Strong-Coupling Architecture in Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

Rishabh Upadhyay, GEORGE M. THOMAS, Yu-Cheng Chang +5 more

We report on a robust method to achieve strong coupling between a superconducting flux qubit and a high-quality quarter-wavelength coplanar waveguide resonator. We demonstrate the progression from the strong to ultrastrong coupling regime by varying the length of a shared inductive coupling element, ultimately achieving a qubit-resonator coupling strength of 655 MHz, $10\mathrm{%}$ of the resonator frequency. We derive an analytical expression for the coupling strength in terms of circuit parameters and also discuss the maximum achievable coupling within this framework. We experimentally characterize flux qubits coupled to superconducting resonators using one- and two-tone spectroscopy methods, demonstrating excellent agreement with the proposed theoretical model.We report on a robust method to achieve strong coupling between a superconducting flux qubit and a high-quality quarter-wavelength coplanar waveguide resonator.

Scalable quantum computer with superconducting circuits in the ultrastrong coupling regime

Roberto Stassi, Mauro Cirio, Franco Nori

Abstract So far, superconducting quantum computers have certain constraints on qubit connectivity, such as nearest-neighbor couplings. To overcome this limitation, we propose a scalable architecture to simultaneously connect several pairs of distant qubits via a dispersively coupled quantum bus. The building block of the bus is composed of orthogonal coplanar waveguide resonators connected through ancillary flux qubits working in the ultrastrong coupling regime. This regime activates virtual processes that boost the effective qubit–qubit interaction, which results in quantum gates on the nanosecond timescale. The interaction is switchable and preserves the coherence of the qubits.Abstract So far, superconducting quantum computers have certain constraints on qubit connectivity, such as nearest-neighbor couplings.
