Toward Practical-Scale Quantum Annealing Machine for Prime Factoring

Masaaki Maezawa, Go Fujii, Mutsuo Hidaka +8 more

We propose a prime factorizer operated in a framework of quantum annealing (QA). The idea is inverse operation of a multiplier implemented with QA-based Boolean logic circuits. We designed the QA machine on an application-specific-annealing-computing architecture which efficiently increases available hardware budgets at the cost of restricted functionality. The invertible operation of QA logic gates consisting of superconducting flux qubits was confirmed by circuit simulation with classical noise sources. The circuits were implemented and fabricated by using superconducting integrated circuit technologies with Nb/AlOx/Nb Josephson junctions. We also propose a 2.5Dimensional packaging scheme of a qubit-chip/interpose /package-substrate structure for realizing practically large-scale QA systems.

Superconducting flux qubits for high-connectivity quantum annealing without lossy dielectrics

Christopher Quintana

Quantum annealing can potentially be used to find better solutions to hard optimization problems faster than purely classical hardware. To take full advantage of quantum effects such as tunneling, a physical annealer should be comprised of qubits with a sufficient degree of quantum coherence. In addition, to encode useful problems, an annealer should provide a dense physical connectivity graph between qubits. Towards these goals, we develop superconducting ``fluxmon'' flux qubits suitable for high-connectivity quantum annealing without the use of performance-degrading lossy dielectrics. We carry out in-depth studies of noise and dissipation, and of qubit-qubit coupling in the strongly nonlinear regime. We perform the first frequency-resolved measurements extracting both the quantum and classical parts of the 1/f flux noise intrinsic to superconducting devices, and observe the classical-to-quantum crossover of the noise. We also identify atomic hydrogen as a magnetic dissipation source. We then implement tunable inter-qubit coupling compatible with high connectivity, and provide direct spectroscopic measurements of ultra-strong coupling between qubits. Finally, we use our system to explore quantum annealing faster than the system thermalization time, a previously unaccessed regime.
