Short dephasing times pose one of the main challenges in realizing a quantum computer. Different approaches have been devised to cure this problem for superconducting qubits, prime example being operation such devices at optimal working points, so-called ``sweet spots.'' This latter approach led significant improvement ${T}_{2}$ Cooper pair box qubits [D. Vion et al., Science 296, 886 (2002)]. Here, we introduce new type qubit called ``transmon.'' Unlike charge qubit, transmon is designed...

We propose a realizable architecture using one-dimensional transmission line resonators to reach the strong coupling limit of cavity quantum electrodynamics in superconducting electrical circuits. The vacuum Rabi frequency for photons quantized excitations an adjacent circuit (qubit) can easily exceed damping rates both and qubit. This is attractive as macroscopic analog atomic physics experiments computing control, since it provides inhibition spontaneous emission, potentially leading...

The performance of superconducting qubits has improved by several orders magnitude in the past decade. These circuits benefit from robustness superconductivity and Josephson effect, at present they have not encountered any hard physical limits. However, building an error-corrected information processor with many such will require solving specific architecture problems that constitute a new field research. For first time, physicists to master quantum error correction design operate complex...

The topic of quantum noise has become extremely timely due to the rise information physics and resulting interchange ideas between condensed matter AMO/quantum optics communities. This review gives a pedagogical introduction its connections measurement amplification. After introducing spectra methods for their detection, we describe basics weak continuous measurements. Particular attention is given treating standard limit on linear amplifiers position detectors using general linear-response...

Superconducting quantum circuits based on Josephson junctions have made rapid progress in demonstrating behavior and scalability. However, the future prospects ultimately depend upon intrinsic coherence of junctions, whether superconducting qubits can be adequately isolated from their environment. We introduce a new architecture for employing three-dimensional resonator that suppresses qubit decoherence while maintaining sufficient coupling to control signal. With architecture, we...

We theoretically study single and two-qubit dynamics in the circuit QED architecture. focus on current experimental design [Wallraff et al., Nature (London) 431, 162 (2004); Schuster 445, 515 (2007)] which superconducting charge qubits are capacitively coupled to a high-$Q$ coplanar resonator. In this system, logical gates realized by driving resonator with microwave fields. Advantages of architecture that it allows for multiqubit between non-nearest realization parallel, opening possibility...

We present a new hardware-efficient paradigm for universal quantum computation which is based on encoding, protecting and manipulating information in harmonic oscillator. This proposal exploits multi-photon driven dissipative processes to encode logical bases composed of Schrödinger cat states. More precisely, we consider two schemes. In first scheme, two-photon process used stabilize qubit basis two-component While such scheme ensures protection the against photon dephasing errors,...

In a Rabi oscillation experiment with superconducting qubit we show that visibility in the excited state population of more than 95% can be attained. We perform dispersive measurement by coupling non-resonantly to transmission line resonator and probing spectrum. The process is well characterized quantitatively understood. Ramsey fringes, coherence time larger 500 ns.

In contrast to a single quantum bit, an oscillator can store multiple excitations and coherences provided one has the ability generate manipulate complex multiphoton states. We demonstrate control by using superconducting transmon qubit coupled waveguide cavity resonator with highly ideal off-resonant coupling. This dispersive interaction is much greater than decoherence rates higher-order nonlinearities allow simultaneous manipulation of hundreds photons. With tool set conditional...

A way to induce quantum stability Dynamical systems, whether classical or quantum, usually require a method stabilize performance and maintain the required state. For instance, communication between computers requires error correction codes ensure that information is transferred correctly. In system, however, very act of measuring it can perturb it.

Electron spins in solids are promising candidates for quantum memories superconducting qubits because they can have long coherence times, large collective couplings, and many could be encoded into spin waves of a single ensemble.
