Abstract

We present numerical simulations for the influence of fluctuations and decay in the population transfer between two superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) qubit states that are manipulated by two microwave pulses using stimulated Raman adiabatic passage.

Coherent manipulation of superconducting quantum interference devices with adiabatic passage

Emmanuel Paspalakis, Niels J. Kylstra

The method of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage is applied in order to coherently manipulate a three-level superconducting quantum interference device quantum bit with two microwave pulses. Simulations indicate that this method has the potential to allow for efficient control of the system for a wide range of pulse parameters.

Decay Features of Coherent Oscillations Observed in a Superconducting Qubit Manipulated by Fast Flux Pulses

F. Chiarello, Maria Gabriella Castellano, C. Cosmelli +1 more

A double SQUID qubit (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) can be handled by applying microwave trains, but also by using fast flux pulses. In this second case the manipulation is based on the fast and radical modification of the qubit potential shape that induces non-adiabatic transitions between the computational states (the two lowest energy eigenstates), still avoiding transitions to upper levels. This modality is interesting because it allows faster operations with respect to other techniques, but also because it gives access to interesting nontrivial physical features, concerning in particular decoherence and adiabaticity. About decoherence, we observed experimentally the existence of an “optimal” bias region and the transition between two distinct decoherence regimes. These results can be explained by considering the effect of first and second order slow fluctuations which dominate on high frequency noise contributions. This allows a deep insight in the qubit decoherence mechanisms.

Efficient Scheme for One-Way Quantum Computing with Radiofrequency SQUID Qubits by Adiabatic Passage

Song Ming-yu

We proposed an efficient scheme for constructing a quantum controlled phase-shift gate and generating the cluster states with rf superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) coupled to a microwave cavity through adiabatic evolution of dark eigenstates. During the operation, the spontaneous emission is suppressed since the rf SQUIDs are always in the three lowest flux states. Considering the influence from the cavity decay with achievable experimental parameters, we numerically analyze the success probability and the fidelity for generating the two-SQUID maximally entangled state and the controlled phase-shift gate by adiabatic passage.

Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a three-level superconducting circuit

K. S. Kumar, Antti P. Vepsäläinen, Sergey Danilin +1 more

The adiabatic manipulation of quantum states is a powerful technique that opened up new directions in quantum engineering--enabling tests of fundamental concepts such as geometrical phases and topological transitions, and holding the promise of alternative models of quantum computation. Here we benchmark the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage for circuit quantum electrodynamics by employing the first three levels of a transmon qubit. In this ladder configuration, we demonstrate a population transfer efficiency >80% between the ground state and the second excited state using two adiabatic Gaussian-shaped control microwave pulses. By doing quantum tomography at successive moments during the Raman pulses, we investigate the transfer of the population in time domain. Furthermore, we show that this protocol can be reversed by applying a third adiabatic pulse, we study a hybrid nondiabatic-adiabatic sequence, and we present experimental results for a quasi-degenerate intermediate level.

Arbitrary rotation and entanglement of flux SQUID qubits

Z. Kis, Emmanuel Paspalakis

We propose an approach for the arbitrary rotation of a three-level superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) qubit and describe a strategy for the creation of coherence transfer and entangled states between two three-level SQUID qubits. The former is succeeded by exploring the coupled-uncoupled states of the system when irradiated with two microwave pulses, and the latter is succeeded by placing the SQUID qubits into a microwave cavity and used adiabatic passage methods for their manipulation.

SCHEME FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OPTIMAL 1 → 2 UNIVERSAL QUANTUM CLONING WITH SQUID QUBITS IN A CAVITY VIA A RAMAN TRANSITION

Zhen‐Biao Yang, Bao‐Long Fang, Wen‐Hai Zhang +1 more

We propose a scheme to realize the optimal 1 → 2 universal quantum cloning (UQC) in 2-dimension with superconducting quantum-interference device (SQUID) qubits in a microwave cavity. In our scheme, three-SQUIDs are fixed in a microwave cavity via a Raman transition for their manipulation. Using this method, no transfer of quantum information between the SQUIDs and the cavity is required, the cavity field is only virtually excited and thus the cavity decay is suppressed during the cloning process. Furthermore, our scheme only requires using the two lower flux states of the SQUID system and the excited state is not excited. So the effect of decoherence based on the levels of the SQUID system is possible to minimize.
