Big Question: Qubits or Resonators! Is it better to use harmonic oscillators

(resonators) or qubits for quantum computing?

! Common wisdom: It depends..." Use qubit nonlinearity to encode

information." Use oscillator coherence to store

information." Use resonators to couple qubits." Use ? to readout information." Use ? to process information.

is an integer (k = 0 is shown in Fig. ??). Note thatthis choice requires ωa < ωq < ωb and |Ω| < g

Thus, we estimate thatNOON state generation using this protocol will take only270 ns.

Using this result, and a coupling of ga/(2π) = gb/(2π) =200 MHz for a qubit with ωq/(2π) = 6.5 GHz and res-onators with ωa/(2π) = 6 GHz, ωb/(2π) = 7 GHz (simi-lar to recent experiments [? ]), we find Ω/(2π) ∼ 40 MHzfor the relevant Rabi frequency. Thus, we estimate thatNOON state generation using this protocol will take only270 ns. This compares quite favorably to the coherencetimes of both qubits and resonators, which are now con-sistently greater than 0.5µs [? ? ? ].

Quantum State Transfer

d = 1d = 2

d = 3 d = 4

One can transfer the state of a single qubit from site A to site B using a set of permanently coupled qubits with Hamiltonian:

Dynamics of a single excitation (with ω = 0) maps onto a tight-bonding model with H = ħΩ , where the coupling matrix Ω is proportional to the adjacency matrix of the coupling graph. Certain coupling schemes such as the hypercube (M. Christandl et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 187902 (2004)) lead to perfect state transfer:
