Contextuality without nonlocality in a superconducting quantum system
Classical realism demands that system properties exist independently of whether they are measured, while noncontextuality demands that the results of measurements do not depend on what other measurements are performed in conjunction with them. The Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem states that noncontextual realism cannot reproduce the measurement statistics of a single three-level quantum system (qut...
متن کاملFabrication Technology of and Symmetry Breaking in Superconducting Quantum Circuits
Superconducting quantum circuits are promising systems for experiments testing fundamental quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale and for applications in quantum information processing. We report on the fabrication and characterization of superconducting flux qubits, readout dc SQUIDs, on-chip shunting capacitors, and high-quality coplanar waveguide resonators. Furthermore, we discuss the tun...
متن کاملOn Quantum Computing with Macroscopic Josephson Qubits
The achievements of quantum computation theory, e.g. Shor’s factoring algorithm, motivate efforts to realize quantum computers. Among systems proposed for quantum computing macroscopic superconducting circuits of Josephson junctions appear promising for integration in electronic circuits and large-scale applications. Recently, a superconducting tunnel junction circuit was designed and a suffici...
متن کاملQubit lattice coherence induced by electromagnetic pulses in superconducting metamaterials
Quantum bits (qubits) are at the heart of quantum information processing schemes. Currently, solid-state qubits, and in particular the superconducting ones, seem to satisfy the requirements for being the building blocks of viable quantum computers, since they exhibit relatively long coherence times, extremely low dissipation, and scalability. The possibility of achieving quantum coherence in ma...
متن کاملMaxwell's demon assisted thermodynamic cycle in superconducting quantum circuits.
We study a new quantum heat engine (QHE), which is assisted by a Maxwell's demon. The QHE requires three steps: thermalization, quantum measurement, and quantum feedback controlled by the Maxwell demon. We derive the positive-work condition and operation efficiency of this composite QHE. Using controllable superconducting quantum circuits as an example, we show how to construct our QHE. The ess...
