  • Patent number: 11977956
    Abstract: In a general aspect, calibration is performed in a quantum computing system. In some cases, domains of a quantum computing system are identified, where the domains include respective domain control subsystems and respective subsets of quantum circuit devices in a quantum processor of the quantum computing system. Sets of measurements are obtained from one of the domains and stored in memory. Device characteristics of the quantum circuit devices of the domain are obtained based on the set of measurements, and the device characteristics are stored in a memory of the control system. Quantum logic control parameters for the subset of quantum circuit devices of the domain are obtained based on the set of measurements and stored in memory.

  • Publication number: 20240146307
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum logic gate is performed in a quantum computing system. In some cases, a pair of qubits are defined in a quantum processor; the pair of qubits can include a first qubit defined by a first qubit device in the quantum processor and a second qubit defined by a tunable qubit device in the quantum processor. A quantum logic gate can be applied to the pair of qubits by communicating a control signal to a control line coupled to the tunable qubit device. The control signal can be configured to modulate a transition frequency of the tunable qubit device at a modulation frequency, and the modulation frequency can be determined based on a transition frequency of the first qubit device.

  • Publication number: 20210342729
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum processor has a modular architecture. In some aspects, a modular quantum processor includes first and second quantum processor chips and a cap structure. The first quantum processor chip is supported on a substrate layer and includes a first plurality of qubit devices. The second quantum processor chip is supported on the substrate layer and includes a second plurality of qubit devices. The cap structure is supported on the first and second quantum processor chips and includes a coupler device that provides coupling between at least one of the first plurality of qubit devices with at least one of the second plurality of qubit devices. In some instances, the coupler device is an active coupler device that is configured to selectively couple at least one of the first plurality of qubit devices with at least one of the second plurality of qubit devices.
