Abstract: A tunable dissipative circuit is presented for shifting a frequency of a radio frequency signal or microwave signal in a cryogenically cooled environment. One or more couplers make couplings between a propagation path and a tunable resonance element and a controllable dissipator element. A first control input to said tunable resonance element allows changing a resonance frequency of said tunable resonance element with a first control signal. A second control input to said controllable dissipator element allows changing a damping rate of said controllable dissipator element with a second control signal.

Abstract: A three-dimensional superconducting qubit and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. In an example, a three-dimensional superconducting qubit comprises a structural base comprising one or more insulating materials, and superconductive patterns on surfaces of the structural base. The superconductive patterns form at least a capacitive part and an inductive part of the three-dimensional superconducting qubit. A first surface of the surfaces of the structural base defines a first plane and a second surface of the surfaces of the structural base defines a second plane, the second plane being oriented differently than the first plane. At least one superconductive pattern of the superconductive patterns extends from the first surface to the second surface.

Abstract: It is an objective to provide an arrangement and a quantum computing system for qubit readout. According to an embodiment, an arrangement for qubit readout includes at least one qubit and a controllable energy relaxation structure comprising at least one junction. The controllable energy relaxation structure is coupled to the at least one qubit, and is configured to absorb, in response to a control signal, at least one photon from the at least one qubit via photon-assisted tunnelling of a charge through the at least one junction. The arrangement also includes a charge storage configured to store the tunnelled charge and a charge sensing structure coupled to the charge storage. The charge sensing structure is configured to provide a readout signal in response to detecting the tunnelled charge in the charge storage.
