Flux Pumped Kerr-Free Parametric Amplifier
Kagan Yanik, Irwin Huang, Bibek Bhandari +7
We propose a flux-pumped superconducting parametric amplifier based on symmetrically threaded superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) that achieves a Kerr-free operat…
Tunable Superconducting Quantum Interference Device Coupler for Fluxonium Qubits
Abhishek Chakraborty, Bibek Bhandari, D. Dominic Briseño-Colunga +7
Tunable couplers enable high-fidelity two-qubit gates leveraging high on/off coupling ratios and reduced crosstalk within a single design. We investigate a galvanically connected d…
Quantum Benchmarking of High-Fidelity Noise-Biased Operations on a Detuned-Kerr-Cat Qubit
Bingcheng Qing, Ahmed Hajr, Ke Wang +19
Ubiquitous noises in quantum systems remain a key obstacle to building quantum computers, necessitating the use of quantum error correction codes. Recently, error-correcting codes…
Symmetrically Threaded Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices As Next Generation Kerr-cat Qubits
Bibek Bhandari, Irwin Huang, Ahmed Hajr +7
We theoretically explore an alternative circuit for Kerr-cat qubits based on symmetrically threaded Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID). The Symmetrically Threaded…
Dynamical Sweet and Sour Regions in Bichromatically Driven Floquet Qubits
D. Dominic Briseño-Colunga, Bibek Bhandari, Debmalya Das +6
Modern superconducting and semiconducting quantum hardware use external charge and microwave flux drives to both tune and operate devices. However, each external drive is susceptib…
Properties and Applications of the Kirkwood-Dirac Distribution
David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur, William F. Braasch, Stephan De Bievre +6
Recent years have seen the Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) distribution come to the forefront as a powerful quasi-probability distribution for analysing quantum mechanics. The KD distribution…
