Analysis of a tuneable coupler for superconducting phase qubits

چکیده
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the recently realized tuneable coupler for superconducting phase qubits (R. C. Bialczak et al., Ref. 11). The coupling can be turned off by compensating a negative mutual inductance with a tuneable Josephson inductance. The main coupling in this system is of the XX type and can be zeroed exactly, while there is also a small undesired contribution of the ZZ type. We calculate both couplings as functions of the tuning parameter (bias current) and focus on the residual coupling in the OFF regime. In particular, we show that for typical experimental parameters the coupling OFF/ON ratio is on the order of 10, and it may be zeroed by proper choice of parameters. The remaining errors due to physical presence of the coupler are on the order of 10.

Tunable coupling of superconducting qubits.
We study an LC circuit implemented using a current-biased Josephson junction (CBJJ) as a tunable coupler for superconducting qubits. By modulating the bias current, the junction can be tuned in and out of resonance and entangled with the qubits coupled to it. One can thus implement two-qubit operations by mediating entanglement. We consider the examples of CBJJ and charge-phase qubits. A simple...

متن کاملTunable inductive coupling of superconducting qubits in the strongly nonlinear regime
For a variety of superconducting qubits, tunable interactions are achieved through mutual inductive coupling to a coupler circuit containing a nonlinear Josephson element. In this paper, we derive the general interaction mediated by such a circuit under the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This interaction naturally decomposes into a classical part, with origin in the classical circuit equations...

A major challenge in the field of quantum computing is the construction of scalable qubit coupling architectures. Here, we demonstrate a novel tunable coupling circuit that allows superconducting qubits to be coupled over long distances. We show that the interqubit coupling strength can be arbitrarily tuned over nanosecond time scales within a sequence that mimics actual use in an algorithm. Th...
متن کاملLong-range and selective coupler for superconducting flux qubits
We propose a qubit-qubit coupling scheme for superconducting flux quantum bits (qubits), where a quantized Josephson junction resonator and microwave irradiation are utilized. The junction is used as a tunable inductance controlled by changing the bias current flowing through the junction, and thus the circuit works as a tunable resonator. This enables us to make any qubits interact with the re...
