Abstract

Abstract We propose a theoretical scheme for a one-dimensional superconducting circuit lattice system to achieve that topological phase transition and topological multi-channel transfer, which is adjusted by the asymmetric hopping modulations. The system consists of an array of coupled superconducting microwave cavities, the hopping between its can be modulated by the qubits. Here, we explore topological stages by introducing parameters to expand the hopping modulation range. We found that the energy bands in the system exhibit different structural characteristics, which can achieve topological phase switching. Meanwhile, the edge modes can undergo a flipping process, which can not only realize dual-channel topological quantum information transfer, but also can achieve four-channel. Furthermore, it is noted that the defect can induce new topological phases, which can be optimized by adjusting the hopping parameters, while disorder can only cause band fluctuations and inversions, but does not change the position and period of edge states, verifying that the edge state transport is robust. The results obtained in this work can be applied to the storage and transmission of quantum information, and have a guiding role in the future development of quantum technology.

Modulation of topological phase transitions and topological quantum states in one-dimensional superconducting transmission line cavities lattice

Wei Wang, Yi‐Ping Wang

We propose a theoretical scheme for a one-dimensional lattice based on a superconducting quantum circuit system consisting of two types of superconducting microwave cavities, the interaction between nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor unit cells that can be adjusted by the magnetic flux, the system can obtain the collective dynamic evolution and study the topological properties of the system.First, we investigate the energy spectrum and edge states of the odd-even lattice size and find that the odd-even lattice number affects the topological properties of the system. Furthermore, considering the next-nearest interactions, it is found that there are constraints on the next-nearest interactions, which can be tuned to study the topological phase transitions of the system and the transfer of topological quantum states.In addition, considering the influence of defects on topological properties, it is found that the defect potential energy is small, the system energy band is stable, the edge states remain unchanged, and the energy spectrum fluctuation is small and distinguishable. Conversely, the energy band distribution is destroyed, it will become disordered and chaotic. The research results can design some new quantum devices for quantum optics and quantum information processing.

Topological phase transitions and topological quantum states modulated by the counter-rotating wave terms in a one-dimensional superconducting microwave cavity lattice

Zheng Zhi-Yong, Lijie Chen, Xiang Lü +2 more

We propose a one-dimensional lattice theory scheme based on superconducting microwave cavities, which includes two different types of microwave cavity unit cells. The coupling between unit cells is controlled by flux qubits to simulate and study their topological insulator characteristics. Specifically, a one-dimensional superconducting microwave cavity lattice scheme with a p-wave superconducting pairing term is achieved by mapping the counter-rotating wave terms to the p-wave superconducting pairing term. We found that the p-wave superconducting pairing term can modulate the topological quantum state of the system, allowing for the creation of topological quantum information transmission channels with four edge states. In addition, when the p-wave superconducting pairing term and the nearest-neighbor interaction exist, we find that the energy band undergoes fluctuations, inducing the generation of new energy bands, but the degeneracy of the edge states remains stable, which can achieve multiple topological quantum state transmission paths. However, when its regulatory value exceeds the threshold, the energy gap of the system will close, causing the edge states to annihilate in new energy bands. Furthermore, when considering the existence of defects in the system, we found that when the strength of the defects are small, the edge state produces small fluctuations, but it can be clearly distinguished, indicating its robustness. When the strength of the defect exceeds the threshold, the edge state and energy band cause irregular fluctuations, allowing the edge state to integrate into the energy band. Our research results have important theoretical value and practical significance, and can be applied in quantum optics and quantum information processing in the future.

Change-over switch for quantum states transfer with topological channels in a circuit-QED lattice

Liu‐Yong Cheng, Li-Na Zheng, Ruixiang Wu +2 more

We propose schemes to realize robust quantum states transfer between distant resonators using the topological edge states of a one-dimensional circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) lattice. Analyses show that the distribution of edge states can be regulated accordingly with the on-site defects added on the resonators. And we can achieve different types of quantum state transfer without adjusting the number of lattices. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the on-site defects can be used as a change-over switch for high-fidelity single-qubit and two-qubit quantum states transfer. This work provides a viable prospect for flexible quantum state transfer in solid-state topological quantum system.

Engineering a Phase-Robust Topological Router in a Dimerized Superconducting-Circuit Lattice with Long-Range Hopping and Chiral Symmetry

Li-Na Zheng, X. X. Yi, Hong‐Fu Wang

We propose a scheme to implement the phase-robust topological router based on a one-dimensional dimerized superconducting circuit lattice with long-range hopping. We show that the proposed dimerized superconducting circuit lattice can be mapped into an extended chiral-symmetric Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with long-range hopping, in which the existence of long-range hopping induces a special zero-energy mode. The peculiar distribution of the zero-energy mode enables us to engineer a phase-robust topological router, which can achieve quantum state transfer (QST) from one site (input port) to multiple sites (output ports). Benefiting from the topological protection of chiral symmetry, we demonstrate that the presence of the mild disorder in nearest-neighbor and long-range hopping has no appreciable effects on QST in the lattice. Particularly, after introducing another long-range hopping into the extended SSH lattice, we propose an optimized protocol of the phase-robust topological router, in which the number of the output ports can be efficiently increased. Resorting to the Bose statistical properties of the superconducting circuit lattice, the input port and output ports assisted by the zero-energy mode can be detected via the mean distribution of the photons. Our work breaks the traditional QST form with only one outport by the zero-energy mode and opens a pathway to construct large-scale quantum information processing in the SSH chains with long-range hopping.

Tunable Topological Beam Splitter in Superconducting Circuit Lattice

Lu Qi, Yan Xing, Xuedong Zhao +5 more

In the usual Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model with an even number of lattice sites, the topological pumping between left and right edge states cannot be easily realized since the edge states occupy two-end sites simultaneously. Here we propose a scheme to investigate the topological edge pumping in an even-sized periodically modulated SSH model mapped by a one dimensional superconducting transmission line resonators array. We find that the photon initially prepared in the first resonator can be finally observed at the two-end resonators with a certain proportion. The final photon splitting at the two-end resonators indicates that the present superconducting circuit is expected to realize the topological beam splitter. Further, we demonstrate that the splitting proportion between the two-end resonators can be arbitrarily tuned from 1 to 0, implying the potential feasibility of implementing the tunable topological beam splitter. Meanwhile, we also show that the tunable topological beam splitter is immune to the mild disorder added into the system due to the topology protection of the zero energy modes, and find that the tunable topological beam splitter is much more robust to the global on-site disorder compared with the nearest neighbor disorder. Our work greatly extends the practical application of topological matter in quantum information processing and opens up a new way towards the engineering of topological quantum optical device.
