Unshunted QOS Comparator for Qubit Readout
نویسندگان
چکیده
State measurements of flux-based superconducting quantum bits (qubits) require the sensitive discrimination of small differences of magnetic flux, with measurement times short compared to the timescales of coherent quantum mechanical behaviour. The single-fluxquantum (SFQ) superconducting comparator may be the best device for this purpose. An SFQ comparator design using a quasi-one-junction SQUID (QOS) acting as the comparator junction has two advantages over earlier designs -increased sensitivity and the possibility to eliminate shunt resistors. Here we report the first measurements of the sensitivity of an unshunted QOS comparator. The gray zone of this device at 4.2K is 6 mΦo.

High fidelity readout of trapped ion qubits
We demonstrate single-shot qubit readout with a fidelity sufficient for fault-tolerant quantum computation. For an optical qubit stored in 40Ca+ we achieve 99.991(1)% average readout fidelity in 10(6) trials, using time-resolved photon counting. An adaptive measurement technique allows 99.99% fidelity to be reached in 145 micros average detection time. For 43Ca+, we propose and implement an opt...

Superconducting Josephson junction devices rank among the best candidates for realizing a quantum computer. While the coherent control of quantum dynamics has been demonstrated in these solid-state, macroscopic quantum systems, a major challenge has been to increase the coherence times for these qubits. With an objective to reduce the level of readout-induced decoherence, this thesis work focus...

Superconducting quantum bits (qubits) are promising candidates for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computation. Being able to determine a quantum state with a single measurement is essential for using any quantum system for computation. In this thesis single shot readout is implemented for hybrid semiconductor based superconducting qubits by integrating a near quantum limited parametric amplif...
متن کاملMeasurement-induced qubit state mixing in circuit QED from up-converted dephasing noise.
We observe measurement-induced qubit state mixing in a transmon qubit dispersively coupled to a planar readout cavity. Our results indicate that dephasing noise at the qubit-readout detuning frequency is up-converted by readout photons to cause spurious qubit state transitions, thus limiting the nondemolition character of the readout. Furthermore, we use the qubit transition rate as a tool to e...
متن کاملNondestructive readout for a superconducting flux qubit.
We present a new readout method for a superconducting flux qubit, based on the measurement of the Josephson inductance of a superconducting quantum interference device that is inductively coupled to the qubit. The intrinsic flux detection efficiency and backaction are suitable for a fast and nondestructive determination of the quantum state of the qubit, as needed for readout of multiple qubits...
