9 Progress in Superconducting QC?? 9

10 WHY SUPERCONDUCTIVITY? E few electrons N ~ 10 9 forest of states total number of electrons N even ~ 1 ev 2Δ ~ 1meV superconducting gap ATOM SUPERCONDUCTING NANOELECTRODE

11 Collective Quantization easiest (?) to understand for charge qubits An isolated superconductor has definite charge. Al, Nb For an even number of electrons there are no low energy degrees of freedom! Unique non-degenerate quantum ground state. Normal State Superconducting State 2Δ To have any degrees of freedom, we need a junction. N(2 e) 11

12 charge qubits ( M n)(2 e) ( N + n)(2 e) Josephson tunnel barrier 2Δ 2Δ 2Δ 2Δ 2Δ n = 2 n = 1 n = 0 n =+1 n =+2 Tunnel coupling: E J n n+ 1 + n+ 1 n Charging energy: n Ec n n n n 12

13 First Rabi oscillations:

14 First SC charge qubit works! But coherence time extremely short. Generic asymmetry means qubit has different static dipole moments in ground and excited states. Ground state Excited state Environment can measure the qubit state via stray electric fields. What to do? 14

15 Outsmarting noise: CPB sweet spot charge fluctuations energy energy sweet spot only sensitive to 2 nd order fluctuations in gate charge! n g n g (gate charge) Vion et al., Science 296, 886 (2002) 15

16 First Ramsey Fringe Experiment Proves True Coherence of Science 296, 886 (2002) Superpositions T 2 * rises to ns Double sweet spot! 16

17 Transmon Cooper Pair Box: Charge Qubit that Beats Charge Noise Josephson junction: E J >> E C 300 μm e g Added metal = capacitor & antenna plasma oscillation of 2 or 3 Cooper pairs: exponentially small static dipole Transmon qubit insensitive to 1/f electric fields * Theory: J. Koch et al., PRA (2007); Expt: J. Schreier et al., P 17 Flux qubit + capacitor: F. You et al., PRB (2006)

18 Transmon Qubit: Sweet Spot Everywhere! Nota Bene! unlike phase qubit Ψ ( ϕ) =Ψ ( ϕ+ 2 π ) E J /E C = 1 E J /E C = 5 E J /E C = 10 E J /E C = 50 Energy N g (gate charge) Exponentially small charge dispersion! ω ω E Adequate anharmonicity: c charge dispersion 18

19 Coherence in Transmon Qubit T1 = 1.5μs Random benchmarking of 1-qubit ops Chow et al. PRL 2009: Technique from Knill et al. for ions * 2 1 T = 2T = 3.0μs * = + Tϕ > 35μs T 2T T ϕ Error per gate = 1.2 % Similar error rates in phase qubits (UCSB): Lucero et al. PRL 100, (2007)

20 Moore s Law for Charge Qubit Coherence Times?? (No Echo) T2 now limited largely by T1 T ϕ 30μs 20

21 Qubits Coupled with a Quantum Bus use microwave photons guided on wires! Circuit QED Blais et al., Phys. Rev. A (2004) transmission line cavity out 7 GHz in Josephson-junction qubits Expts: Majer et al., Nature 2007 (Charge qubits / Yale) Sillanpaa et al., Nature 2007 (Phase qubits / NIST)

22 A Two-Qubit Processor flux bias lines control qubit frequency 1 ns resolution DC - 2 GHz T = 10 mk cavity: entanglement bus, driver, & detector transmon qubits

23 RY How do we entangle two qubits? ( π /2) rotation on each qubit yields superposition: 1 Ψ = ( ) ( ) 2 1 = ( ) 2 Conditional Phase Gate entangler: Ψ = ( ) No longer a product state!

24 How do we realize the conditional phase gate? Ψ = ( ) Use control lines to push qubits near a resonance: A controlled z-z interaction also à la NMR

25 Key is to use 3 rd level of transmon (outside the logical subspace) Coupling turned off Coupling turned on: Near resonance with 3 rd level ω ω Energy is shifted if and only if both qubits are in excited state.

27 How do we read out the qubit state and measure the entanglement?
