Two-qubit state tomography with ensemble average in coupled superconducting qubits

Mengmeng Li, Guangming Xue, Xinsheng Tan +5 more

We propose a scheme to perform two-qubit state tomography by independently measuring the ensemble average of quantum states of two coupled superconducting transmon qubits. Each qubit is capacitively coupled to its own readout cavity and can be measured separately. In order to obtain the density matrix of a two-qubit state, we apply four two-qubit unitary operations to the initial state and measure the corresponding qubit states, from which the elements of the two-qubit density matrix can be extracted. By using this scheme, we measure the entangled two qubits with high fidelity.

Compact 3D quantum memory

Edwar Xie, Frank Deppe, Michael Renger +8 more

Superconducting 3D microwave cavities offer state-of-the-art coherence times and a well-controlled environment for superconducting qubits. In order to realize at the same time fast readout and long-lived quantum information storage, one can couple the qubit to both a low-quality readout and a high-quality storage cavity. However, such systems are bulky compared to their less coherent 2D counterparts. A more compact and scalable approach is achieved by making use of the multimode structure of a 3D cavity. In our work, we investigate such a device where a transmon qubit is capacitively coupled to two modes of a single 3D cavity. External coupling is engineered so that the memory mode has an about 100 times larger quality factor than the readout mode. Using an all-microwave second-order protocol, we realize a lifetime enhancement of the stored state over the qubit lifetime by a factor of 6 with a fidelity of approximately 80% determined via quantum process tomography. We also find that this enhancement is not limited by fundamental constraints.

Nonlocal Magnonic Cat States in Hybrid Magnon-Qubit Architectures

Urmimala Dewan, Roson Nongthombam, Sampreet Kalita +1 more

The quantum superpositions of coherent states offer an alternative to the conventional qubit-based encodings by harnessing the large Hilbert space available in bosonic modes, including those realised in microwave and optical cavities, magnons, and mechanical resonators. Beyond their advantages for local information processing, establishing long-distance quantum networks for such bosonic states is crucial for scalable quantum communication and distributed quantum computation. In this work, we propose an entanglement-swapping-based protocol to generate a bipartite magnonic cat state shared between spatially separated subsystems. Each subsystem comprises a hybrid architecture consisting of a superconducting transmon qubit coupled to a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere that supports magnon modes. By performing a projective Bell-state measurement on the qubits, the initially established magnon-qubit entanglement is coherently transferred to the remote magnon modes, resulting in a nonlocal magnonic cat state. For experimental characterisation of the gener- ated states, we perform quantum state tomography through reconstruction of the Wigner function using joint displaced parity measurements of the magnon modes. Our scheme provides a feasible route towards realising long-distance magnonic entanglement and contributes to the advancement of hybrid quantum network architectures.
