Abstract: Frequency tuning for a matchless plasma source is described. To perform the frequency tuning, current is measured at an output of an amplification circuit of the matchless plasma source after a change in a frequency of operation of the matchless plasma source. Upon determining that the current has increased with the change in the frequency of operation, the frequency of operation is further changed until the current has decreased. When the current has decreased, the changed frequency of operation is further modified to be an operational frequency. When the matchless plasma source operates at the operational frequency, the current at the output of the amplification circuit is maximized.

Abstract: A tunable resonator is formed by shunting a set of asymmetric DC-SQUIDs with a capacitive device. An asymmetric DC-SQUID includes a first Josephson junction and a second Josephson junction, where the critical currents of the first and second Josephson junctions are different. A coupling is formed between the tunable resonator and a qubit such that the capacitively-shunted asymmetric DC-SQUIDs can dispersively read a quantum state of the qubit. An external magnetic flux is set to a first value and applied to the tunable resonator. A first value of the external magnetic flux causes the tunable resonator to tune to a first frequency within a first frequency difference from a resonance frequency of the qubit, the tunable resonator tuning to the first frequency causes active reset of the qubit.
