We report the generation and observation of coherent temporal oscillations between macroscopic quantum states a Josephson tunnel junction by applying microwaves with frequencies close to level separation. Coherent excited state populations were observed monitoring junction's tunneling probability as function time. From data, lower limit phase decoherence time was estimated be about 5 microseconds.

The resulting 10-qubit density matrix is unambiguously probed, fidelity $0.668 \pm 0.025$. Our results demonstrate largest entanglement created so far solid-state architectures, pave way...
We present a scheme to achieve maximally entangled states, controlled phase-shift gate, and SWAP gate for two superconducting-quantum-interference-device (SQUID) qubits, by placing SQUIDs in microwave cavity. also show how transfer quantum information from one SQUID qubit another. In this scheme, no of between the cavity is required, field only virtually excited thus requirement on quality factor greatly relaxed.
We present a way to teleport multiqubit quantum information from sender distant receiver via the control of many agents in network. show that original state each qubit can be restored by as long all collaborate. However, even if one agent does not cooperate, cannot fully recover qubit. The method operates essentially through entangling during teleportation, such required auxiliary resources, local operation, and classical communication are considerably reduced for purpose.

We investigate the experimental feasibility of realizing quantum information transfer (QIT) and entanglement with SQUID qubits in a microwave cavity via dark states. Realistic system parameters are presented. Our results show that QIT two-SQUID can be achieved high fidelity. The present scheme is tolerant to device parameter nonuniformity. also strong coupling limit cavity. Thus, cavity-SQUID systems provide new way for production nonclassical source communication.

However, compared traditional databases, current technology still cannot handle massive number transactions, caused by factors, protocol, structure blocks...
Coherent control of quantum states is at the heart implementing solid-state processors and testing mechanics macroscopic level. Despite significant progress made in recent years controlling single- bi-partite systems, coherent wave function multipartite systems involving artificial qubits has been hampered due to relatively short decoherence time lacking precise methods.

The deployment qutrit, instead qubit, as the coupler enables us use interactions exclusively for all qutrit-cavity and qutrit-pulse operations. This unique approach significantly shortens time operation which is advantageous reducing adverse effects qutrit decoherence cavity decay on fidelity protocol. Furthermore,...

Here we report on realization STIRAP in a superconducting phase qutrit - ladder-type system which ground state is coherently transferred to second-excited via dark subspace. The result agrees well with numerical simulation master equation, further...
Anyons are exotic quasiparticles obeying fractional statistics, whose behavior can be emulated in artificially designed spin systems.

The Josephson ${I}_{c}$ between a Ta-wire probe and an induced, surface, singlet, superconducting state in U${\mathrm{Be}}_{13}$ decreases with decreasing temperature below the bulk ${T}_{c}$, contrast to increase seen comparison Mo samples. This shows that superconductivity suppresses induced singlet superconductivity. Such suppression is evidence of triplet super-conducting U${\mathrm{Be}}_{13}$. Evidence presented for phase slip weakly coupled order parameters.
We present a Floquet treatment of multiphoton quantum interference in strongly driven superconducting flux qubit. The periodically time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation can be reduced to an equivalent time-independent infinite-dimensional matrix eigenvalue problem. For resonant or nearly transitions, we extend the generalized Van Vleck (GVV) degenerate high-order perturbation theory for Hamiltonian, allowing reduction $N\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}N$ effective where $N$ is number...
