  • Opposite Anharmonicity Coupler For Gates In Quantum Computers
    Publication number: 20240303524
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices including a tunable coupler design that harnesses interference due to higher energy levels to achieve zero static ZZ coupling between the two qubits. Biasing to zero ZZ interaction, a fast perfect entangler is realized with parametric flux modulation in less than 20 ns. The disclosed coupler provides very fast gates between far-detuned fixed frequency qubits, and is a crucial building block in scaled quantum computers.
