چکیده

We have observed the coherent exchange of a single energy quantum between a flux qubit and a superconducting LC circuit acting as a quantum harmonic oscillator. The exchange of an energy quantum is known as the vacuum Rabi oscillation: the qubit is oscillating between the excited state and the ground state and the oscillator between the vacuum state and the first excited state. We also show that we can detect the state of the oscillator with the qubit and thereby obtained evidence of level quantization of the LC circuit. Our results support the idea of using oscillators as couplers of solid-state qubits.

Entangled States in a Josephson Charge Qubit Coupled to a Superconducting Resonator

We study the dynamics of a quantum superconducting circuit which is the analogue of an atom in a high-Q cavity. The circuit consists of a Josephson charge qubit coupled to a superconducting resonator. The charge qubit can be treated as a two level quantum system whose energy separation is split by the Josephson energy E j. The superconducting resonator in our proposal is the analogue of a photo...

Feedback control of Rabi oscillations in circuit QED

We consider the feedback stabilization of Rabi oscillations in a superconducting qubit which is coupled to a microwave readout cavity. The signal is readout by homodyne detection of the in-phase quadrature amplitude of the weak-measurement output. By multiplying the time-delayed Rabi reference, one can extract the signal, with maximum signal-to-noise ratio, from the noise current. We further tr...

rf-SQUID-mediated coherent tunable coupling between a superconducting phase qubit and a lumped-element resonator.

We demonstrate coherent tunable coupling between a superconducting phase qubit and a lumped-element resonator. The coupling strength is mediated by a flux-biased rf SQUID operated in the nonhysteretic regime. By tuning the applied flux bias to the rf SQUID we change the effective mutual inductance, and thus the coupling energy, between the phase qubit and resonator. We verify the modulation of ...

Circuit QED: Recent Results in Quantum Optics with Superconducting Circuits

Circuit QED1 is an approach for studying quantum optics in a superconducting integrated circuit. By combining a one-dimensional transmission-line cavity that stores microwave photons and a superconducting qubit that plays the role of an artificial atom, one can easily enter the strong coupling limit of cavity QED. In recent experiments, we attain couplings that are several percent of the qubit ...

Quantum Feedback Control of a Solid-State Qubit

The principle of feedback control is used in a wide variety of physical and engineering problems. For example, it can be applied in a straightforward way to tune the oscillation phase of a harmonic oscillator in order to achieve a desired synchronization. An intriguing and fundamental question is whether continuous feedback can be used to control quantum systems; for instance, if it is possible...
