  • Publication number: 20190102496
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for composing quantum circuits and rendering graphical representations thereof within an interactive user interface. The user interface may be a quantum circuits composer interface into which a quantum circuit can be written via drag-and-drop user interactions with the interface that involve placing symbols representative of quantum operations (gates and measurements) on interactive elements (e.g., linear elements) representing qubits and/or classical bits, or more specifically, the state of qubits/classical bits over time. Quantum circuits created using the quantum circuits composer interface can be translated into a scripting language. In addition, user commands provided via a command line interface (CLI) can be translated into a corresponding quantum circuit and a graphical representation thereof can be dynamically generated. Modifications to the code commands can be dynamically reflected in the graphical representation.

  • Publication number: 20180225586
    Abstract: In a system including a cross-resonance gate having a superconducting control qubit and having a superconducting target qubit coupled through a bus resonator, echo pulses are generated at a first frequency and directed to the control qubit, wherein the first frequency is on resonance with the control qubit. Cross-resonance pulses are generated at a second frequency on resonance with the target qubit and applied to the control qubit, wherein the generating and applying the cross-resonance pulses induce rotations on the target qubit through an interaction that is mediated by the bus resonator. Cancellation pulses are generated at the second frequency and applied to the target qubit. Sets of Hamiltonian tomographies may be measured to determine appropriate amplitudes and phases of the cross-resonance and cancellation pulses.

  • Patent number: 9729152
    Abstract: A mechanism relates a superconductor circuit. A ? circuit includes a first node connecting a Purcell capacitor to a qubit coupling capacitor, a second node connecting the Purcell capacitor to a readout coupling capacitor, and a third node connecting the qubit coupling capacitor to the readout coupling capacitor. A qubit is connected to the first node and has a qubit frequency. A readout resonator connects to the third node combining with the Purcell capacitor to form a filter. Capacitance of the Purcell capacitor is determined as a factor of the qubit frequency of the qubit and blocks emissions of the qubit at the qubit frequency. Capacitance of the Purcell capacitor causes destructive interference, between a first path containing Purcell capacitor and a second path containing both the qubit coupling capacitor and readout coupling capacitor, in order to block emissions of the qubit at the qubit frequency to the external environment.
