  1. Quantum Computers, Algorithms and Chaos, Varenna 5-15 July 2005 Quantum computation with solid state devices-“Theoretical aspects of superconducting qubits” Rosario Fazio Scuola Normale Superiore - Pisa

  2. Outline Lecture 1 - Quantum effects in Josephson junctions - Josephson qubits (charge, flux and phase) - qubit-qubit coupling - mechanisms of decoherence - Leakage Lecture 2 - Geometric phases - Geometric quantum computation with Josephson qubits - Errors and decoherence Lecture 3 - Few qubits applications - Quantum state transfer - Quantum cloning

  3. Motivations • Quantum information protocols without external control • Choose a given model and use just the time evolution (less flexible but more stable) • Easier to implement in solid state systems • Implementation of Quantum communication schemes in solid state devices • Josephson arrays in quantum communication

  8. Quantum communications with spin chains • Sender at site 1 • Receiver at site L • Initial state • Time evolution

  9. Quantum communications with spin chains Total magnetization Is a constant of motion where

  12. Perfect communications with spin chains

  13. A quantum copying machine does not exist! Quantum cloning A quantum copying machine does not exist! W. Wootters and W. Zurek (1982) No cloning theorem U|a>|0> |a>|a> U(|a>+|b>) |0> |aa>+|bb> ≠(|a>+|b>) (|a>+|b>)

  14. Quantum cloning Although perfect cloning is not possible ….. … Imperfect cloning has been considered • V. Buzek and M. Hillery (1996), D. Bruβ et al (1998), • D. Bruβ, A. Ekert and C. Macchiavello (1998), • R. Werner (2000), … • Lama-Linares et al (2002), De Martini et al (2004), • J. Du et al (2004), …
