  • Publication number: 20160292586
    Abstract: In some aspects, a quantum computing system includes a multi-dimensional array of qubit devices. Coupler devices reside at intervals between neighboring pairs of the qubit devices in the multi-dimensional array. Each coupler device is configured to produce an electromagnetic interaction between one of the neighboring pairs of qubit devices. In some cases, each qubit device has a respective qubit operating frequency that is independent of an offset electromagnetic field experienced by the qubit device, and the coupling strength of the electromagnetic interaction provided by each coupler device varies with an offset electromagnetic field experienced by the coupler device. In some cases, readout devices are each operably coupled to a single, respective qubit device to produce qubit readout signals that indicate the quantum state of the qubit device.

  • Publication number: 20160267032
    Abstract: In some aspects, a quantum computing system includes a control system and a quantum processor cell. The control system generates quantum processor control information for a group of devices housed in the quantum processor cell, and each device in the group has a distinct operating frequency. In some cases, a waveform generator generates a multiplexed control signal based on the quantum processor control information, and the multiplexed control signal is communicated an input signal processing system. In some cases, the input signal processing system includes an input channel configured to receive the multiplexed control signal, a de-multiplexer configured to separate device control signals from the multiplexed control signal, and output channels configured to communicate the respective device control signals into the quantum processor cell.
