Tensor-network representation of excitations in Josephson junction arrays
Emilio Rui, Joachim Cohen, Alexandru Petrescu
We present a nonperturbative tensor-network approach to the excitation spectra of superconducting circuits based on Josephson junction arrays. These arrays provide the large lumped…
Non-perturbative switching rates in bistable open quantum systems: from driven Kerr oscillators to dissipative cat qubits
Léon Carde, Ronan Gautier, Nicolas Didier +3
In this work, we use path integral techniques to predict the switching rate in a single-mode bistable open quantum system. While analytical expressions are well-known to be accessi…
Enhancing dissipative cat qubit protection by squeezing
Rémi Rousseau, Diego Ruiz, Emanuele Albertinale +38
Dissipative cat-qubits are a promising architecture for quantum processors due to their built-in quantum error correction. By leveraging two-photon stabilization, they achieve an e…
Flux-pump induced degradation of for dissipative cat qubits
Léon Carde, Pierre Rouchon, Joachim Cohen +1
Dissipative stabilization of cat qubits autonomously corrects for bit flip errors by ensuring that reservoir-engineered two-photon losses dominate over other mechanisms inducing ph…
