  3. Circuit description

  4. Circuit description For Φx = Φ0/2 the potential is a symmetric double well Qubit parameters Fully controllable system S.Poletto

  5. Circuit description The system is fully gradiometric, realized in Nb, designed by IFN-CNR, fabricated by Hypres (100 A/cm2) Flux bias Fc 1/100 coupling Readout SQUID flux bias Fx junctions 100mm S.Poletto

  10. Theoretical interpretation

  11. Theoretical interpretation Symmetric double-well potential (Φx = Φ0/2 )  description in the base {|L, |R} |L |R It is possible to describe the system in the energy base {|0, |1} as well |1 |0 S.Poletto

  12. |1 |0 Theoretical interpretation ? expected oscillation frequency of up to 35 GHz S.Poletto

  13. Theoretical interpretation Frequency dependence on pulse amplitude (Φc) Green dots: experimental data Blue line: theoretical curve S.Poletto

  14. Theoretical interpretation Note: In the case of asymmetric potential one should take into account a non-adiabatic population of the states {|0, |1} S.Poletto

  15. Conclusions

  16. Summary and conclusions Advantages of the demonstrated approach • Oscillations are obtained without using microwave pulses • Due to large energy level spacing the system can evolve athigh temperature (up to h/kB  1.1K) • High frequency of coherent oscillations (up to 35 GHz) allow for high speed quantum gates • A qubit coherence time of ~ 500 ns should be sufficient to implement an error correction algorithm • (required ~104 operations during the coherence time. • See e.g.: arXiv:quant-ph/0110143) S.Poletto
