High fidelity and efficient qubit measurement using parametric protocols in a circuit-QED setup.

ORAL

Abstract

Quantum computing and communication require high-fidelity, rapid qubit state readout. Furthermore, quantum error correction necessitates quantum non-demolition (QND) measurements. While dispersive readout with static coupling is a common method, it faces limitations for QND measurement due to low readout photons, loss of photons before early-stage amplification, and qubit-cavity interactions throughout the measurement process. To overcome these challenges, we propose a device with two weakly nonlinear cavity modes and a transmon qubit, coupled by a common SQUID loop [1]. This device facilitates readout with negligible static couplings at a specific flux bias and allows tunable parametric couplings to achieve on-demand dispersive shifts, beam splitter interactions, and amplification [1-2]. Moreover, the negligible static qubit-cavity coupling eliminates the need for Purcell filters. In this talk, I will discuss our experimental progress towards qubit readout by pulse-controlling parametric processes to achieve QND measurement without compromising measurement efficiency and fidelity. By simply changing the pulse protocols in this versatile system design, one can access various readout schemes tailoring them to the specific needs of the measurements.
