  • Publication number: 20240046132
    Abstract: Techniques and couplers for managing coupling between qubits are presented. A coupler can be between, and connected to, a first qubit and second qubit. The coupler can comprise three Josephson junctions (JJs). The first and second JJs can be symmetrical, which facilitates creation of a first mode of oscillation and second mode of oscillation opposite of the first mode. Third JJ facilitates a division between the first and second modes. An activation status of a ZZ gate between the first and second qubits can be controlled based on excitation status of first mode and a relationship between first mode and second mode, the excitation status being based on whether a pulse is applied to the coupler. When no pulse is applied, ZZ gate is inactive and there is no coupling. When pulse is applied, first mode is in excited state activating ZZ gate, and there is a coupling between qubits.

  • Patent number: 11658660
    Abstract: A device comprises first and second qubits, and a qubit coupler coupled between the first and second qubits. The second qubit comprises first and second modes with the first mode configured to store data. The qubit coupler comprises first and second modes, and operates in a first state or second state. In the first state, the first qubit is exchange coupled to the first mode of the qubit coupler, and the second mode of the second qubit is exchange coupled to the second mode of the qubit coupler, to suppress interaction between the first and second qubits. In the second state, the first qubit and the first mode of the second qubit are exchange coupled to both the first and second modes the qubit coupler, to enable interaction between the first and second qubits for an entanglement gate operation in response to a control signal applied to the qubit coupler.
