1: Introduction
The one qubit system
1.1 Josephson Junction
• Behaves like a circuit with capacitance and inhomogenous inductor
• Josephson energy responsible for coherent tunneling
• Superconducting elements
• Gate electrode in our case also superconducting => very precise charge tuning
1.2 Hamiltonian
•Parabolar shape of the electric energy
•Josephson energy as a coupling between charge states => Charge is no good quantum number anymore !
1.3 Energy band with EJ = 0
•Charge as a good quantum number•Degeneracy points => no energy needed to tunnel to the box
1.3 Energy bands with EJ = 0Change the quantum number from charge to energy !
1.4 Energy band with EJ <> 0
•Charge is no good quantum number•degeneracy points splitted up•Possible to reach the degeneracy point by applying a special pulse ! => rabi oscillation (~ to E)
1.5 Magnetic flux
=>
The Josephson energy is a function of the magnetic flux !
2: Experiment
2.1 Experiment setup
[1] [2]
2.2 Experiment
[1]
2.3 Results
[1][1]
3: Data analysis
3.1 Truth table
• Implementation of CNOT operation succeeded !
=> compare data with simulation data
3.2 Data discussionTarget qubit: •good agreement with the experiment (but a little offset)
Numerical calculation of the density matrix's time evolution
Control qubit:•Discrepency due to the unknown currend channel in the readout scheme
•Pulse induced currend should not exceed 2.4 pA but it does => currend has an extra componentmaybe from higher order Cooper-pair tunnerling
3.3 Possible improvements
• Increasing Em
• Decrease the raise/fall time of the pulse by 25 %
=> red lines
