Probing entanglement across the energy spectrum of a hard-core Bose-Hubbard lattice

Amir H. Karamlou, Ilan T. Rosen, Sarah E. Muschinske +16

Entanglement and its propagation are central to understanding a multitude of physical properties of quantum systems. Notably, within closed quantum many-body systems, entanglement…

High-Fidelity, Frequency-Flexible Two-Qubit Fluxonium Gates with a Transmon Coupler

Leon Ding, Max Hays, Youngkyu Sung +16

We propose and demonstrate an architecture for fluxonium-fluxonium two-qubit gates mediated by transmon couplers (FTF, for fluxonium-transmon-fluxonium). Relative to architectures…
