Surface loss simulations of superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators

Losses in superconducting planar resonators are presently assumed to predominantly arise from surface-oxide dissipation, due to experimental losses varying with choice of materials. We model and simulate the magnitude of the loss from interface surfaces in the resonator and investigate the dependence on power, resonator geometry, and dimensions. Surprisingly, the dominant surface loss is found ...

Protected quantum computation with multiple resonators in ultrastrong coupling circuit QED.

We investigate theoretically the dynamical behavior of a qubit obtained with the two ground eigenstates of an ultrastrong coupling circuit-QED system consisting of a finite number of Josephson fluxonium atoms inductively coupled to a transmission line resonator. We show a universal set of quantum gates by using multiple transmission line resonators (each resonator represents a single qubit). We...
