  • Tunable current-mirror qubit system
    Patent number: 11429887
    Abstract: One example includes a tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit includes a plurality of flux tunable elements disposed in a circuit loop. A first portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a first input flux and a remaining portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a second input flux to control a mode of the tunable current-mirror qubit between a microwave excitation mode to facilitate excitation or quantum state manipulation of the tunable current-mirror qubit via a microwave input signal and a noise-protected mode to facilitate storage of the quantum state of the tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit also includes at least one capacitor interconnecting nodes between respective pairs of the flux tunable elements to facilitate formation of Cooper-pair excitons in each of the microwave excitation mode and the noise-protected mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2022
    Assignees: NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: David George Ferguson, Cheong Yiu Li, Jens Koch, Moe Shwan Khalil
