Both the transition frequency of the transmon and the frequency of the dressed cavity can be varied with the applied external flux bias, which are well consistent with the theoretical model. The range of the variable transition frequency is from 5.188 GHz to 7.756 GHz. The energy relaxation time of the transmon is hundreds of nanoseconds.展开更多

We measure single photon and multi-photon transitions in this qubit-qubit coupling system and obtain its energy avoided-crossing spectrum. With ac-Stark effect, fast control of the qubits is achieved to tune the effective coupling on and off and the state-swap gate SWAP is successfully constructed. Moreover, using two-photon transition between the ground state and doubly observed. A quarter period of this oscillation corresponds to states, bSWAP and are the foundations of future gate excited states, a kind of two-photon Rabi-like oscillation is the logical gate bSbSWAP, which is used for generating Bell preparation of two-qubit Bell states and realization of CNOT展开更多

We use the system in which the transmon qubits are capacitively coupled to a superconducting transmission line resonator driven by a strong microwave field. In our scheme, the phase gate can be realized in a time (nanosecond-scale) much shorter than decoherence time (microsecond-scale), and it is more immune to the 1/f charge noise and has longer dephasing time due to the favorable properties of the transmon qubits in the system.展开更多
