2 Plan Honest (pessimistic) review of the state of the field of superconducting qubits. Theoretical models of protected qubits and their implementations in Josephson junctions. Experimental results Conclusions

8 Advantage of protection Charge qubit: Q<100 Quantronium, (charge qubit at the optimal point): Q= Flux qubit: away from the optimal point Q~10 At optimal point Q= T 1 ~4μs T 2 ~3μs T 2 echo ~4μs Devices decoupled from the leading source of noise in the linear order. Devices decoupled in? higher orders?
9 Protected Qubit (General) P k Protected Doublet: Special Spin Hamiltonians H with a large number of (non-local) integrals of motion P, Q: [H,P k ]=0, [H,Q m ]=0, [P k,q m ] 0 Q m Any physical (local) noise term δh(t) commutes with all P k and Q m except a O(1) number of each. Effect of noise appears in N order of the perturbation theory: δe~(δh(t) / ) N-1 δh(t) Simplest Spin Hamiltonian H=Σ kl J x kl σ x k σ x l + Σ kl J z kl σ z k σ z l Rows Columns P k = l σ z l Q k = l σ x l Crucial issues: 1. Which spin model has a large gap? 2. Which spin model is easiest to realize in Josephson junction arrays?
10 Numerics for short range model (nearest neighbor interactions) H=Σ (kl) J x kl σ x k σ x l + Σ (kl) J z kl σ z k σ z l Low energy band Lowest excited state in the same sector as the ground state Splitting of two lowest (degenerate) levels by random field applied to each spin and distributed in interval (-0.05, 0.05). Low energy states for 4*4 and 5*5 spin 4 5 array. Low energy band contains 2 and 2 states Conclusion: relatively small arrays provide very good protection, especially in one channel!
11 Realization of individual spins and their interaction by Josephson Junction Arrays H H Fixed phase Φ=0 Fixed phase Φ=0 or π Only simultaneous flips are possible: H=t σ x k σ x l Longer chains: H=t Σ k,m σ x k σ x m + constraint k σ z k=const Large capacitor preventing phase changes of the end point.
12 Where is the catch? Josephson elements are not discrete. Noise suppression contains δφ Φ E J r k 1 γ δ E J r k 1 0 (r ~ t transition amplitude) we need large quantum fluctuations. But large quantum fluctuations low phase rigidity across the chain φ = 0 no distinction between φ = 0 and φ = π states φ = 0 or φ = π
13 Fixed phase Φ=0 Resolution(s) A. Many (K>>1) Parallel Chains for k=4 Dynamical phase Φ Gap too small V(Φ) = K V chain (Φ) C eff = K C chain Need K 2 v chain / E c chain >>1 E c 4 rhombi chain ~ E c Need K~10-20
14 B. Hierarchical construction Start with single rhombus Combine 4 rhombi into super-rhombus = = n n $ 2 2 cos 2φ n 1 cosφ 4 n C H = E E + E q H n+ 1 = E n+ 1 cos 2φ E n+ 1 cosφ + 4E n+ 1 q$ C n n n Need E E to increase (or stay constant) but / n E1 E C to decrease 2 / C k E E f E E x f x x 16 k E E g E E x x x 4 2 n+ 1 n+ 1 n n 2 2 / C = ( 2 / C) for small ( ) = 2 n+ 1 n+ 1 n n 2 1 / C = ( 1 / C) for small g( ) = k - number of chains in parallel (k=2 above) 1 1 If one rhombus is good enough to produce E the unwanted term 1 / E 2 < 1/4 (1) (1) will decrease for the optimal E2 / E 1 2 C

21 Critical current of the second level hierarchy device (12 rhombi) Ic (na) Φ 0 /2 oscillations E 1 0 (no E 1 cosφ term) Fourier filtered first harmonics B (arb units)
22 Compare with 2 rhombi (first hierarchy level) Ic (na) Φ 0 /2 oscillations E 1 0 But E 1 at this level is much larger than on E 1 the next level Fourier filtered first harmonics B (arb units)
23 Value of critical currents: Theory versus Experiment Theory: direct numerical diagonalization of Hamiltonian in charge basis is impossible: 91 charge degree of freedom! 1 + $$ 1 H = J qi q j + 4 E ( C ) q q 2 ij C ij i j i; j i; j Approximate alternatives: 1.Replace actual system by 4 rhombi chain with additional capacitance in the middle and scale the result by a factor of 3 2 =9. Should work well for small E J /E C 2. Use effective coupling produced by two rhombi chain and replace the two rhombi structure by effective Josephson element. Should work well in K limit.

24 Value of critical currents: Theory vs. Experiment Theory: direct numerical diagonalization of Hamiltonian in charge basis 1 + $$ 1 H = J qi q j + 4 E ( C ) q q 2 Accuracy of numerics can be verified for 2 rhombi Charge increase/decrease systems for E operators J /E C <10. ij C ij i j i; j i; j Capacitance Matrix L (contact) Results for 2 rhombi samples: E C (Geom) E J (Am-B) E 2 (Exp) E 2 (Theor) ? 1.2?
25 Improved design
26 Effect of the gate potential Switching probability Fourier transforms of switching probability Magnetic flux away from Φ 0 /2 Quasiparticle Peak Oscillations of critical current ~1-2 na which correspond to E 2 ~ E C in agreement with numerical simulations Magnetic flux equals Φ 0 /2
27 Conclusions Parallel chains of approximately π-periodic discrete Josephson elements should provide topological protection from the noise: decoupling in higher orders or suppressed linear order. Problem of soft phase fluctuations in long chains can be solved by hierarchical construction Experimental realization shows appearance of π-periodicity which magnitude is in (rough) agreement with theoretical predictions and suppression of 2π-periodicity. Observed gate periodicity is in agreement with theoretical expectations.
28 Next steps We need to confirm the quantum nature of the fluctuations. For this we shall try to A. To measure the gap in the spectrum directly by microwave spectroscopy B. We need to optimize the parameters to find the values that produce largest ratio of the second harmonics to the first Measurements of the qubit coherence
