Local control theory for superconducting qubits

In this work, we develop a method to design control pulses for fixed-frequency superconducting qubits coupled via tunable couplers based on local control theory, an approach commonly employed to steer chemical reactions. Local control theory provides an algorithm that only requires a single forward time propagation of the system wave function to shape an external pulse that monotonically increases the population of a desired final state of a quantum system given an initial state. The method can serve as a starting point for additional refinements that lead to new pulses with improved properties. Among others, we propose an algorithm to design pulses that transfer population in a reversible manner between given initial and final states of coupled fixed-frequency superconducting qubits.

Superconducting quantum computing

Superconducting quantum computing is a branch of solid state quantum computing that implements superconducting electronic circuits using superconducting qubits as artificial atoms, or quantum dots. For superconducting qubits, the two logic states are the ground state and the excited state, denoted respectively. Research in superconducting quantum computing is conducted by companies such as Google, IBM, IMEC, BBN Technologies, Rigetti, and Intel. Many recently developed QPUs (quantum processing units, or quantum chips) utilize superconducting architecture.

Problème de la mesure quantique

Le problème de la mesure quantique consiste en un ensemble de problèmes, qui mettent en évidence des difficultés de corrélation entre les postulats de la mécanique quantique et le monde macroscopique tel qu'il nous apparaît ou tel qu'il est mesuré.

Effet Josephson

En physique, l’effet Josephson se manifeste par l'apparition d'un courant entre deux matériaux supraconducteurs séparés par une couche faite d'un matériau isolant ou métallique non supraconducteur. Dans le premier cas, on parle de « jonction Josephson S-I-S » (supraconducteur-isolant-supraconducteur) et dans le second de « jonction S-M-S ». On distingue deux types d'effets Josephson, l'effet Josephson « continu » (D.C. Josephson effect en anglais) et l'effet Josephson « alternatif » (A.C. Josephson effect).

Emergence of highly coherent two-level systems in a noisy and dense quantum network

Sandrine Gerber, Gabriel Aeppli

Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems (TLS), the quantum analogues of classical bits assuming binary values 0 or 1. They are useful to the extent to which superpositions of 0 and 1 persist despite a noisy environment. The standard prescr ...
