Quantum state characterization of a fast tunable superconducting resonator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate a frequency-tunable superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator, with a tuning range of half a gigahertz and a switching time of 1 ns. The resonator is made tunable by inserting a superconducting quantum interference device in the center strip of the resonator. Quantum measurements are made by probing the resonator with a superconducting qubit, allowing us to use microwave photon Fock states to benchmark the resonator performance. Using the resonator, we shuttle energy quanta between the qubit and a microscopic two-level state. The tunable resonator can, therefore, serve as a communication bus or memory element in a prototype quantum processor. VC 2013 AIP Publishing LLC. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4802893]

Fast-tunable resonators and quantum electrical circuits
In this thesis, measurements on superconducting electrical circuits that exhibit quantum mechanical effects are presented. Nonlinear superconducting circuits can be regarded as artificial atoms with energy spectra that can be engineered. The artificial atoms can be used as quantum bits for quantum computation. By coupling the artificial atoms to the electromagnetic field inside a transmission l...
متن کاملParametric coupling between macroscopic quantum resonators
Time-dependent linear coupling between macroscopic quantum resonator modes generates both a parametric amplification also known as a “squeezing operation” and a beam splitter operation, analogous to quantum optical systems. These operations, when applied properly, can robustly generate entanglement and squeezing for the quantum resonator modes. Here, we present such coupling schemes between a n...
متن کاملFast dynamics and measurements of single-charge devices
In this thesis we present measurements on several different devices, including the single-Cooper-pair box (SCB), the single-electron box, tunable superconducting resonators and so called transmon qubits. By exploiting the quantum capacitance of the SCB, its state was measured by embedding the box in a radio-frequency resonator. The state dependent change in the quantum capacitance then leads to...
متن کاملSuperconducting qubit with Purcell protection and tunable coupling.
We present a superconducting qubit for the circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture that has a tunable qubit-resonator coupling strength g. This coupling can be tuned from zero to values that are comparable with other superconducting qubits. At g = 0, the qubit is in a decoherence-free subspace with respect to spontaneous emission induced by the Purcell effect. Furthermore, we show that in ...
متن کاملTunable resonant and nonresonant interactions between a phase qubit and LC resonator.
We use a flux-biased radio frequency superconducting quantum interference device (rf SQUID) with an embedded flux-biased direct current SQUID to generate strong resonant and nonresonant tunable interactions between a phase qubit and a lumped-element resonator. The rf SQUID creates a tunable magnetic susceptibility between the qubit and resonator providing resonant coupling strengths from zero t...
