Abstract: A superconducting readout system includes a computation qubit; a measurement device to measure a state of the computation qubit; and a latch qubit that mediates communicative coupling between the computation qubit and the measurement device. The latch qubit includes a qubit loop that includes at least two superconducting inductors coupled in series with each other; a compound Josephson junction that interrupts the qubit loop that includes at least two Josephson junctions coupled in series with each other in the compound Josephson junction and coupled in parallel with each other with respect to the qubit loop; and a first clock signal input structure to couple clock signals to the compound Josephson junction.

Abstract: An architecture for a quantum processor may include a set of superconducting flux qubits operated as computation qubits and a set of superconducting flux qubits operated as latching qubits. Latching qubits may include a first closed superconducting loop with serially coupled superconducting inductors, interrupted by a split junction loop with at least two Josephson junctions; and a clock signal input structure configured to couple clock signals to the split junction loop. Flux-based superconducting shift registers may be formed from latching qubits and sets of dummy latching qubits. The devices may include clock lines to clock signals to latch the latching qubits. Thus, latching qubits may be used to program and configure computation qubits in a quantum processor.
