    摘要: Techniques for designing, creating, and utilizing a current biased tunable qubit are presented. A qubit device can comprise a first Josephson junction (JJ) located along a first current path of the device, and a second JJ and third JJ coupled in series along a second current path in parallel with the first current path, wherein the second and third JJs facilitate controlling frequency of the device. The first JJ can be larger in area than each of the second and third JJs, wherein a current splitting ratio between the first current path and second current path can be increased thereby. The device can comprise a capacitor with a first terminal associated with the second and third JJs, and a second terminal associated with ground. Alternatively, a high kinetic inductance wire can be used in the first current path, instead of the JJ.

    摘要: A low-cost solution for performing a quantum operation provides for defining a target unitary that rotates a single qubit by a target rotation to place the qubit in a target state. The method further provides for identifying multiple projective rotation circuits that each implement an approximation of the target rotation upon successful measurement and assigning a selection probability to each of the multiple identified projective rotation circuits, the selection probability being defined by a metric that increases in value in proportion to a proximity between a qubit state resulting from the approximation and the target qubit state. The method further provides for probabilistically selecting one of the multiple projective rotation circuits according to the assigned selection probabilities and outputting a circuit definition that includes the selected projective rotation circuit.

    摘要: Methods, systems and apparatus for performing quantum state preparation. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of defining a target quantum state of a quantum system, wherein time evolution of the quantum system is governed by a target Hamiltonian, and defining a total Hamiltonian that interpolates between an initial Hamiltonian and the target Hamiltonian, wherein the total Hamiltonian is equal to the initial Hamiltonian at an initial time and is equal to the target Hamiltonian at a final time; approximating the time evolution of the total Hamiltonian using a truncated linear combination of unitary simulations to generate a truncated time evolution operator; evolving a ground state of the initial Hamiltonian according to the truncated time evolution operator for a truncated number of time steps to generate an intermediate state; and variationally adjusting the intermediate state to determine a wavefunction that approximates the target quantum state of the quantum system.
