Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for detecting a state of a data qubit by means of a parity qubit, wherein both the data qubit and the parity qubit can be moved by a moving means, wherein the distance between the data qubit and the parity qubit is so large that the parity qubit cannot query the state of the data qubit, wherein the distance between the data qubit and the parity qubit is reduced by moving the data qubit along a first path and the parity qubit along a second path until the state of the data qubit can be queried by the parity qubit, characterized in that the first path is longer than the second path and/or that the speed of movement of the parity qubit is greater than the speed of movement of the data qubit.

Abstract: A gyrator for AC signals was developed. This gyrator comprises a Hall effect material, means for permeating this Hall effect material with a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane or surface of the material, at least one input port for coupling an alternating current (I1; I2) into the Hall effect material, and at least one output port for outcoupling an output voltage (U2; U1) which is a measure of the Hall voltage generated by the incoupled alternating current. Each of these ports has at least two terminals, which are connected to the outside. At least one terminal of each port is connected to a connecting electrode, which is electrically insulated from the Hall effect material and forms a capacitor together with the Hall effect material. The alternating current is thus capacitively coupled into the Hall effect material, and the output voltage is capacitively coupled out of the Hall effect material.

A transformer is provided between at least one conductor loop (1a; 2a) made of a normal-conducting or semi-conducting material and at least one conductor loop (1; 2) made of the Hall effect material for coupling the current (I1; I4) into the Hall effect material and/or for converting the current (I3; I2) in the Hall effect material into the output voltage (U4; U1).

Abstract: A qubit (quantum bit) circuit includes a superconducting main loop that is electrically-completed by a serially-interconnected superconducting subloop. The subloop includes two Josephson junctions. A first coil provides a first flux that couples with the main loop but not with the subloop. A second coil provides a second flux that couples with the subloop but not with the main loop.
