Large-scale quantum information processing networks will most probably require the entanglement of distant systems that do not interact directly. This can be done by performing entangling gates between standing information carriers, used as memories or local computational resources, and flying ones, acting as quantum buses. We report the deterministic entanglement of two remote transmon qubits by Raman stimulated emission and absorption of a traveling photon wave packet. We achieve a Bell state fidelity of 73%, well explained by losses in the transmission line and decoherence of each qubit.
Quantum information processing with superconducting qubits in a microwave field
Physical Review B, 2003
We investigate the quantum dynamics of a Cooper-pair box with a superconducting loop in the presence of a nonclassical microwave field. We demonstrate the existence of Rabi oscillations for both single-and multi-photon processes and, moreover, we propose a new quantum computing scheme (including one-bit and conditional two-bit gates) based on Josephson qubits coupled through microwaves.
Demonstration of two-qubit algorithms with a superconducting quantum processor
Nature, 2009
By harnessing the superposition and entanglement of physical states, quantum computers could outperform their classical counterparts in solving problems of technological impact, such as factoring large numbers and searching databases 1,2 . A quantum processor executes algorithms by applying a programmable sequence of gates to an initialized register of qubits, which coherently evolves into a final state containing the result of the computation. Simultaneously meeting the conflicting requirements of long coherence, state preparation, universal gate operations, and qubit readout makes building quantum processors challenging. Few-qubit processors have already been shown in nuclear magnetic resonance 3,4,5,6 , cold ion trap 7,8 and optical 9 systems, but a solid-state realization has remained an outstanding challenge.
Entanglement of superconducting qubits via microwave fields: Classical and quantum regimes
Physical Review B, 2008
We study analytically and numerically the problem of two qubits with fixed coupling irradiated with quantum or classical fields. In the classical case, we derive an effective Hamiltonian and describe its entangling properties. We identify a coupling/decoupling switching protocol and we construct composite pulse sequences leading to a CNOT gate. In the quantum case, we show that qubit-qubit-photon multiparticle entanglement and maximally entangled two-qubit states can be obtained by driving the system at very low powers (one quanta of excitation). Our results can be applied to a variety of systems of two superconducting qubits coupled to resonators.
Deterministic Entanglement of Photons in Two Superconducting Microwave Resonators
Physical Review Letters, 2011
Quantum entanglement, one of the defining features of quantum mechanics, has been demonstrated in a variety of nonlinear spin-like systems. Quantum entanglement in linear systems has proven significantly more challenging, as the intrinsic energy level degeneracy associated with linearity makes quantum control more difficult. Here we demonstrate the quantum entanglement of photon states in two independent linear microwave resonators, creating N -photon NOON states as a benchmark demonstration. We use a superconducting quantum circuit that includes Josephson qubits to control and measure the two resonators, and we completely characterize the entangled states with bipartite Wigner tomography. These results demonstrate a significant advance in the quantum control of linear resonators in superconducting circuits.
Physical Review B, 2010
A register of quantum bits with fixed transition frequencies and weakly coupled to one another through simple linear circuit elements is an experimentally minimal architecture for a small-scale superconducting quantum information processor. Presently, the known schemes for implementing two-qubit gates in this system require microwave signals having amplitudes and frequencies precisely tuned to meet a resonance condition, leaving only the signal phases as free experimentally adjustable parameters. Here, we report a minimal and robust microwave scheme to generate fast, tunable universal two-qubit gates: simply irradiate one qubit ͑the "control"͒ at the transition frequency of another ͑the "target"͒. The effective coupling between them is then switched on by tuning only the frequency of this single drive tone; the drive amplitude adjusts the effective coupling strength; and the drive phase selects the particular two-qubit gate implemented. This cross-resonance effect turns on linearly with the ratio of the drive amplitude ⍀ to the qubit-qubit detuning ⌬, as compared with earlier proposals that turn on as ͑⍀ / ⌬͒ 4 .
Coherent controlization using superconducting qubits
2015
Coherent controlization, i.e., coherent conditioning of arbitrary single- or multi-qubit operations on the state of one or more control qubits, is an important ingredient for the flexible implementation of many algorithms in quantum computation. This is of particular significance when certain subroutines are changing over time or when they are frequently modified, such as in decision-making algorithms for learning agents. We propose a scheme to realize coherent controlization for any number of superconducting qubits coupled to a microwave resonator. For two and three qubits, we present an explicit construction that is of high relevance for quantum learning agents. We demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal, taking into account loss, dephasing, and the cavity self-Kerr effect.
Simple All-Microwave Entangling Gate for Fixed-Frequency Superconducting Qubits
Physical Review Letters, 2011
We demonstrate an all-microwave two-qubit gate on superconducting qubits which are fixed in frequency at optimal bias points. The gate requires no additional subcircuitry and is tunable via the amplitude of microwave irradiation on one qubit at the transition frequency of the other. We use the gate to generate entangled states with a maximal extracted concurrence of 0.88 and quantum process tomography reveals a gate fidelity of 81%.
Approaching Unit Visibility for Control of a Superconducting Qubit with Dispersive Readout
Physical Review Letters, 2005
In a Rabi oscillation experiment with a superconducting qubit we show that a visibility in the qubit excited state population of more than 90 % can be attained. We perform a dispersive measurement of the qubit state by coupling the qubit non-resonantly to a transmission line resonator and probing the resonator transmission spectrum. The measurement process is well characterized and quantitatively understood. The qubit coherence time is determined to be larger than 500 ns in a measurement of Ramsey fringes.
