    摘要: A solid state dc-SQUID includes a superconducting loop containing a plurality of Josephson junctions, wherein an intrinsic phase shift is accumulated through the loop. In an embodiment of the invention, the current-phase response of the dc-SQUID sits in a linear regime where directional sensitivity to flux through the loop occurs. Changes in the flux passing through the superconducting loop stimulates current which can be quantified, thus providing a means of measuring the magnetic field. Given the linear and directional response regime of the embodied device, an inherent current to phase sensitivity is achieved that would otherwise be unobtainable in common dc-SQUID devices without extrinsic intervention.

The loop further includes a first Josephson junction and a second Josephson junction separating the bulk portion from the mesoscopic island portion. The superconducting material on at least one side of the first and second Josephson junctions has an order parameter having a non-zero angular momentum in its pairing symmetry. In one embodiment, a qubit includes a superconducting loop having a bulk loop portion and a mesoscopic island portion. The superconducting loop further includes first and second Josephson junctions separating the bulk loop portion from the mesoscopic island portion. The superconducting loop further includes a third Josephson junction in the bulk loop portion.

    摘要: A method is described for forming a solid state qubit. The method includes forming a dot or an anti-dot. The dot or anti-dot can be formed on a substrate and is delimited by an interface that defines a closed area. The dot or anti-dot includes a superconductive material with Cooper pairs that are in a state of non-zero orbital angular momentum on at least one side of the interface. The method includes removing superconducting material on the inner side of the interface or removing the outer side of the interface by etching. The method can further include forming a dot or an anti-dot by damaging the superconducting material such that the superconductive material becomes non-superconductive in predefined areas. The damaging of superconducting material can be performed by irradiation with particles, such as alpha particles or neutrons. The superconductive material can also be formed by doping a non-superconductive material.

    摘要: A method for quantum computing with a quantum system comprising a first energy level, a second energy level, and a third energy level. The first energy level and said second energy level are capable of being degenerate with respect to each other. In the method a signal is applied to the quantum system. The signal has an alternating amplitude at an associated frequency such that (i) the frequency of the signal correlates with an energy level separation between the first energy level and the third energy level or (ii) the frequency of the signal correlates with an energy level separation between the second energy level and the third energy level. The signal induces an oscillation in the state of the quantum system between the first energy level and the second energy level.

    摘要: A method for quantum computing using a quantum system comprising a plurality of qubits is provided. The system can be in any one of at least two configurations at any given time including one characterized by an initialization Hamiltonian HO and one characterized by a problem Hamiltonian HP. The problem Hamiltonian HP has a ground state. Each respective first qubit in the qubits is arranged with respect to a respective second qubit in the qubits such that they define a predetermined coupling strength. The predetermined coupling strengths between the qubits in the plurality of qubits collectively define a computational problem to be solved. In the method, the system is initialized to HO and is then adiabatically changed until the system is described by the ground state of the problem Hamiltonian HP. Then the state of the system is read out by probing an observable of the σX Pauli matrix operator.
