Fluxon readout of a superconducting qubit
arXiv:1304.0645 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.160502
Abstract
Quantum computing using superconducting circuits underwent rapid development in the last decade. This field has propelled from quantum manipulation of single two-level systems to complex designs employing multiple coupled qubits allowing one to execute simple quantum algorithms. On the way to a practical quantum computer, a need for scalable interfaces between classical circuits and the quantum counterparts has arisen. Low-temperature superconducting single-flux quantum (SFQ) logic employs magnetic fluxons in Josephson transmission lines (JTLs) as basic bits for classical computation. Here, we report on an experiment implementing a direct link between SFQ electronics and a superconducting qubit. We demonstrate a readout of the state of a flux qubit through a frequency shift of a single fluxon oscillating in a JTL. The energy spectrum of the flux qubit is measured using this technique. The demonstrated approach may open ways to future full-scale integration of solid-state quantum computers with digital SFQ electronics.
