Quantum Computation with Superconducting Quantum Devices
Abstract
This project has experimentally characterized the coherent quantum nature of the superconducting persistent current qubits which were fabricated in the trilayer niobium technology. The quantum levels of these qubits have been mapped out using both standard microwave frequency spectroscopy as well as a new technique of amplitude spectroscopy. Important to the future implementation of these qubits for quantum computing applications is the demonstration of microwave sideband cooling of the qubits as well as a resonant read-out scheme. In addition to characterizing the quantum nature of a single qubit, this work has also explored the use of Rapid-Single-Flux superconducting circuits to rapidly control the qubit system.
