    摘要: Superconducting metamaterials composed of lumped-element inductors and capacitors are used to implement microwave photonics with novel dispersion relations and dense mode spectra that can be coupled to qubits. Metamaterial lattices may have qubits coupled to different unit cells in the metamaterial such that each qubit will couple strongly to modes with an antinode at the qubit location. Through simultaneous driving of combinations of modes, large amplitudes are produced at only one or a few unit cells, resulting in large ac Stark shifts of qubits located there, and providing a frequency-addressable qubit array without requiring flux-tunability and with reduced control wiring.

    摘要: Devices and/or computer-implemented methods facilitating static ZZ suppression and Purcell loss reduction using mode-selective coupling in two-junction superconducting qubits are provided. In an embodiment, a device can comprise a superconducting bus resonator. The device can further comprise a first superconducting qubit. The device can further comprise a second superconducting qubit, the first superconducting qubit and the second superconducting qubit respectively comprising: a first superconducting pad; a second superconducting pad; a third superconducting pad; a first Josephson Junction coupled to the first superconducting pad and the second superconducting pad; and a second Josephson Junction coupled to the second superconducting pad and the third superconducting pad. The first superconducting pad and the second superconducting pad of the first superconducting qubit and the second superconducting qubit are coupled to the superconducting bus resonator. The superconducting bus resonator entangles the first superconducting qubit and the second superconducting qubit based on receiving a control signal.

    摘要: One example includes a superconducting current control system. The system includes an inductive coupler comprising a load inductor and a control inductor. The inductive coupler can be configured to inductively provide a control current from the control inductor to a superconducting circuit device based on a load current being provided through the load inductor. The system also includes a current control element comprising a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) array comprising a plurality of SQUIDs. The current control element can be coupled to the inductive coupler to control an amplitude of the load current through the load inductor, and thus to control an amplitude of the control current to the superconducting circuit device.
