Generating entanglement between microwave photons and qubits in multiple cavities coupled by a superconducting qutrit
We discuss how to generate entangled coherent states of four
\textrm{microwave} resonators \textrm{(a.k.a. cavities)} coupled by a
superconducting qubit. We also show \textrm{that} a GHZ state of four
superconducting qubits embedded in four different resonators \textrm{can be
created with this scheme}. In principle, \textrm{the proposed method} can be
extended to create an entangled coherent state of resonators and to prepare
a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state of qubits distributed over
cavities in a quantum network. In addition, it is noted that four resonators
coupled by a coupler qubit may be used as a basic circuit block to build a
two-dimensional quantum network, which is useful for scalable quantum
information processing.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
Loss Dependence on Geometry and Applied Power in Superconducting Coplanar Resonators
The loss in superconducting microwave resonators at low-photon number and low
temperatures is not well understood but has implications for achievable
coherence times in superconducting qubits. We have fabricated single-layer
resonators with a high quality factor by patterning a superconducting aluminum
film on a sapphire substrate. Four resonator geometries were studied with
resonant frequencies ranging from 5 to 7 GHz: a quasi-lumped element resonator,
a coplanar strip waveguide resonator, and two hybrid designs that contain both
a coplanar strip and a quasi-lumped element. Transmitted power measurements
were taken at 30 mK as a function of frequency and probe power. We find that
the resonator loss, expressed as the inverse of the internal quality factor,
decreases slowly over four decades of photon number in a manner not merely
explained by loss from a conventional uniform spatial distribution of two-level
systems in an oxide layer on the superconducting surfaces of the resonator.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, Submitted to ASC 2010 conference proceeding
Dynamical Casimir effect entangles artificial atoms
We show that the physics underlying the dynamical Casimir effect may generate
multipartite quantum correlations. To achieve it, we propose a circuit quantum
electrodynamics (cQED) scenario involving superconducting quantum interference
devices (SQUIDs), cavities, and superconducting qubits, also called artificial
atoms. Our results predict the generation of highly entangled states for two
and three superconducting qubits in different geometric configurations with
realistic parameters. This proposal paves the way for a scalable method of
multipartite entanglement generation in cavity networks through dynamical
Casimir physics.Comment: Improved version and references added. Accepted for publication in
