We study the evolution of entanglement and nonlocality of a non-interacting qubit-qutrit system under the effect of random telegraph noise (RTN) in independent and common environments in Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. We investigate the dynamics of qubit-qutrit system for different initial states. These systems could be existed in far astronomical objects. A monotone decay of the nonlocalit...

We realize indirect partial measurement of a transmon qubit in circuit quantum electrodynamics by interaction with an ancilla qubit and projective ancilla measurement with a dedicated readout resonator. Accurate control of the interaction and ancilla measurement basis allows tailoring the measurement strength and operator. The tradeoff between measurement strength and qubit backaction is charac...

The goal of this article is to review the progress of three-electron spin qubits from their inception to the state of the art. We direct the main focus towards the exchange-only qubit (Bacon et al 2000 Phys. Rev. Lett. 85 1758–61, DiVincenzo et al 2000 Nature 408 339) and its derived versions, e.g. the resonant exchange (RX) qubit, but we also discuss other qubit implementations using three ele...

Gennady P. Berman, T-4; Alexander A. Chumak, Institute of Physics, Kiev; Dimitry I. Kamenev, T-4; Darin Kinion, LLNL; Vladimir I. Tsifrinovich, Polytechnic Institute at New York University An adiabatic method for a single-shot non-demolition measurement of the phase qubit is suggested [1]. The qubit is inductively coupled to a low-frequency resonator, which in turn is connected with a classical...

Quantum data are susceptible to decoherence induced by the environment and to errors in the hardware processing it. A future fault-tolerant quantum computer will use quantum error correction to actively protect against both. In the smallest error correction codes, the information in one logical qubit is encoded in a two-dimensional subspace of a larger Hilbert space of multiple physical qubits....

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...

We have performed spectroscopy of a superconducting charge qubit coupled nonresonantly to a single mode of an on-chip resonator. The strong coupling induces a large ac Stark shift in the energy levels of both the qubit and the resonator. The dispersive shift of the resonator frequency is used to nondestructively determine the qubit state. Photon shot noise in the measurement field induces qubit...

We propose a one-step scheme to implement a multiqubit controlled phase gate of one qubit simultaneously controlling multiple qubits with three-level atoms at distant nodes in coupled cavity arrays. The selective qubit-qubit couplings are achieved by adiabatically eliminating the atomic excited states and photonic states and the required phase shifts between the control qubit and any target qub...

Quantum computing, a whole new paradigm to computing, is based on using Quantum Mechanics for computation. The basic element in a quantum computer is a “qubit” which is a two-state physical system. Unlike a classical bit which can exist in one of two states, 0 or 1, a qubit can not only exist in its two basis states, but also in any linear combination of these states. A quantum computer compris...

We give a simple, closed-form formula, what we call the Deflation Identity, for converting any 2-qubit circuit with exactly two controlled-U’s (and some 1-qubit rotations) into an equivalent circuit with just two CNOTs (and some 1-qubit rotations). We also give two interesting applications of the Deflation Identity; one to “opening and closing a breach” in a quantum circuit, the other to the CS...
