Vacuum-gap-based lumped element Josephson parametric amplifier

We propose a lumped element Josephson parametric amplifier with vacuum-gap-based capacitor.The capacitor is made of quasi-floating aluminum pad and on-chip ground.We take a fabrication process compatible with air-bridge technology,which makes our design adaptable for future on-chip integrated quantum computing system.Further engineering the input impedance,we obtain a gain above 20 dB over 162-MHz bandwidth,along with a quasi quantum-limit noise performance.This work should facilitate the development of quantum information processing and integrated superconducting circuit design.

在三维传输子超导量子位系统中,三维空间微波谐振腔代替了传统的共面波导谐振腔。文中对适用于传输子超导量子位的三维空间谐振腔进行了输入输出耦合强度、材料电导率和腔体表面粗糙度等因素的仿真分析,得到了谐振腔最低本征模式(TE101)的谐振频率、有载品质因子、插入损耗与这些因素之间的变化关系。     

三维传输子量子比特的退相干参数表征

超导量子比特的退相干时间是决定超导量子计算能否实现的重要指标之一. 文章以三维传输子量子比特(3D transmon)为研究对象, 在氧化硅衬底上制备了三维传输子量子比特, 并在超低温下(10 mK), 采用拉比振荡(Rabi oscillation)、能量弛豫(energy relaxation)、 拉姆齐条纹(Ramsey fringe)、自旋回波(spin echo)的方法, 对其进行了详细的退相干时间常数表征. 结果显示该量子比特的退相干时间在几百纳秒. 根据几种退相干时间的关系进行计算, 可以看出, 低频噪声目前不是影响量子比特退相干的最主要因素, 而氧化硅中的缺陷可能是样品退相干时间的主要瓶颈. 关键词： 三维传输子量子比特 拉比振荡 拉姆齐条纹 自旋回波     

Construction of two-qubit logical gates by transmon qubits in a three-dimensional cavity

We report the implementation of qubit-qubit coupling in a three-dimensional(3 D) cavity, using the exchange of virtual photons, to realize logical operations. We measure single photon and multi-photon transitions in this qubit-qubit coupling system and obtain its energy avoided-crossing spectrum. With ac-Stark effect, fast control of the qubits is achieved to tune the effective coupling on and off and the state-swap gate (SWAP)~(1/2) is successfully constructed. Moreover, using two-photon transition between the ground state and doubly excited states, a kind of two-photon Rabi-like oscillation is observed. A quarter period of this oscillation corresponds to the logical gate (bSWAP)~(1/2), which is used for generating Bell states.(bSWAP)~(1/2) and (iSWAP)~(1/2) are the foundations of future preparation of two-qubit Bell states and realization of CNOT gate.
