Josephson-junction qubits with controlled couplings
Open accessAbstract
Quantum computers, if available, could perform certain tasks much more efficiently than classical computers by exploiting different physical principles. A quantum computer would be comprised of coupled, two-state quantum systems or qubits, whose coherent time evolution must be controlled in a computation. Experimentally, trapped ions,, nuclear magnetic resonance in molecules, and quantum optical systems have been investigated for embodying quantum computation. But solid-state implementations would be more practical, particularly nanometre-scale electronic devices: these could be easily embedded in electronic circuitry and scaled up to provide the large numbers of qubits required for useful computations. Here we present a proposal for solid-state qubits that utilizes controllable, low-capacitance Josephson junctions. The design exploits coherent tunnelling of Cooper pairs in the superconducting state, while employing the control mechanisms of single-charge devices: single- and two-bit operations can be controlled by gate voltages. The advantages of using tunable Josephson couplings include the simplification of the operation and the reduction of errors associated with permanent couplings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
