Fast superconducting qubit control with sub-harmonic drives
Mingkang Xia, Chao Zhou, Chenxu Liu +8
Increasing the fidelity of single-qubit gates requires a combination of faster pulses and increased qubit coherence. However, with resonant qubit drive via a capacitively coupled p…
Engineering a multi-level bath for transmons with three-wave mixing and parametric drives
Xi Cao, Maria Mucci, Gangqiang Liu +2
A quantum system with a tunable bath temperature provides an additional degree of freedom for quantum simulators. Such a system can be realized by parametrically modulating the cou…
Quantum-limited amplification without instability
A. Metelmann, O. Lanes, T-Z. Chien +4
Quantum parametric amplifiers typically generate by operating in proximity to a point of dynamical instability. We consider an alternate general strategy where quantum-limited, lar…
Pump-efficient Josephson parametric amplifiers with high saturation power
Nicholas M. Hougland, Zhuan Li, Ryan Kaufman +4
Circuit QED based quantum information processing relies on low noise amplification for signal readout. In the realm of microwave superconducting circuits, this amplification is oft…
