Along with the development of new materials and new processes, the development of superconducting quantum chips is also continuously promoted. IBM (International Business Machines Corporation ) introduced 433 bits of high performance superconducting quantum chips in 2022 and planned to introduce more than 1000 bits of superconducting quantum chips in 2023, the Beijing quantum institute achieved a coherence time of 500 microseconds on tantalum film-based superconducting quantum chips, the university of Zhejiang achieved a coherence time of about 100 microseconds on tantalum film superconducting quantum chips (multiple bits), the institute of distributed quantum computing research made breakthrough progress in 2023, 2 months of deep-oriented quantum science and engineering, achieved ultra-low loss quantum chip interconnection technology, improved the fidelity of inter-chip quantum state transmission to single chip level (99%), demonstrated a 12-bit maximum entangled state across three chips, and laid a solid foundation for a large-scale, scalable distributed quantum computing network. In a superconducting quantum chip, adjacent qubits are relatively close to each other, so that certain coupling exists and cannot be turned off. To completely shut off such residual coupling, an adjustable coupler is added between the qubits, which acts as a "switch", which can be signaled to turn on or off the coupling of adjacent bits, hereinafter referred to as a "coupler". Along with the application of the adjustable coupler on the superconducting quantum chip, the fidelity of the quantum gate operation on the superconducting quantum chip is greatly improved, and the fidelity of single bit and two bit gates on the superconducting quantum chip with more than 50 bits is more than 99 percent at present. Based on the superconducting quantum chip of the adjustable coupler, google preliminarily realizes quantum superiority on a 53-bit superconducting quantum bit chip in 2019 for the first time, and the Mingqiao in 2021 releases the quantum superiority on a superconducting quantum chip of 'ancestral towards'. However, the fidelity of the two-bit gates on the superconducting quantum chip in the related art is still lower than 99.9%, so that the superconducting quantum chip still cannot be used for realizing the universal error-correcting quantum computer.
In the related art, the types of adjustable couplers used on superconducting quantum chips are various, including adjustable inductive couplers, fixed frequency superconducting cavity couplers, adjustable frequency superconducting cavity couplers and qubit type couplers. The quantum bit type coupler is a coupler scheme adopted by mainstream laboratories around the world, and plays a great role in promoting the improvement of the fidelity of quantum gates on superconducting quantum chips. However, the energy level non-harmonic property of the coupler based on the transmission sub-qubit (Transmon, xmon) type in the related art is smaller, only 200MHz to 400MHz, and the quantum bit is easy to transition to the qubit or the high excitation state of the coupler in the process of quantum gate operation, which can cause leakage of the quantum state and crosstalk among the quantum bits, thereby influencing the fidelity of the superconducting quantum bit gate in the superconducting quantum chip.
The invention aims to improve the quantum gate operation fidelity by improving the design scheme and the energy level structure of superconducting quantum bits and adjustable couplers in a superconducting quantum chip.
Based on the above object, in a first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, embodiments of a superconducting quantum chip are presented. As shown in fig. 1, the superconducting quantum chip 10 specifically includes a plurality of quantum phase sliding bits 11, and each quantum phase sliding bit 11 is formed by correspondingly connecting a cross capacitor and a nanowire in parallel; and couplers 12 corresponding to the quantum phase sliding bits 11 one by one, wherein the couplers 12 comprise superconducting loops partially formed by nanowires and are used for adjusting the coupling strength between the corresponding adjacent quantum phase sliding bits. In some possible embodiments, the nanowires comprise superconducting nanowires that are etched based on a superconducting thin film and have a width that meets a preset width, for example 40 nanometers.
In some embodiments, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an example of the distinction of superconducting tunneling josephson junctions from quantum phase sliding junctions. Superconducting tunneling-type Josephson junctions are tunneling based on superconducting Cowbar pairs, the structure of which is a superconductor-insulator-superconductor sandwich. The quantum phase sliding bit is based on a nanowire with a preset width, for example, a nanowire with a width of 40nm, and can transport quantum vortex or flux quanta through the nanowire. Quantum phase slip effects are physical phenomena that occur when a magnetic flux "tunnels" across a nanowire, and such phase slip is generally considered to be a phase jump caused by the magnetic flux tunneling through the nanowire in the lateral direction. Because the quantum phase sliding bit is not provided with a charge island (island) compared with a superconductive tunneling type Josephson junction, the quantum phase sliding quantum bit is insensitive to charge noise, and has more stable performance and higher reliability. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a quantum phase sliding effect. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of a quantized current platform observed on a quantum phase sliding bit.
In some embodiments, the quantum phase sliding bit is prepared based on a nanowire, a superconducting tunneling junction with an insulating layer is not required to be prepared, the process flow for preparing the quantum phase sliding bit is relatively simple, and the requirement on the machine complexity is low. The physical structure of the superconductive tunneling type josephson junction comprises an aluminum-aluminum oxide-aluminum three-layer structure, and the oxidation process needs to be controlled with high precision in the preparation process of an aluminum oxide insulating layer of the device, but the oxidation speed and the thickness of the oxide layer often deviate due to the drift effect of an instrument, so that the resistance and the frequency of the superconductive tunneling type josephson junction deviate greatly, and the performance of the device is affected. The quantum phase sliding bit and the nanowire junction of the quantum sliding nanowire junction (i.e. the phase sliding josephson junction) in the coupler only need to etch the superconducting thin film with high precision, so that the width of the nanowire is controlled to be about a preset width, for example, 40 nanometers, and compared with the processing flow of the superconducting tunneling josephson junction, the method has the advantage of reducing the complexity. Although the process flow of phase-sliding josephson junctions is relatively simple, it is still challenging to etch superconducting thin films into nanowires of smaller width.
In some embodiments, the frequency difference between the first energy level and the second excited state energy level of the quantum phase sliding bit in the invention can reach 500 GHz at maximum, so that the working energy level difference between the coupler and the quantum bit is larger, for example, the frequency difference is 4GHz-5GHz, quantum state leakage is not easy to generate, and crosstalk between the quantum bits can be suppressed. The frequency difference between the third energy level and the second energy level of the common superconducting resonant cavity and the Xmon quantum bit type coupler is 4-5 GHz, and the working energy level difference between the Xmon quantum bit type coupler and the quantum bit is very small and is only 200MHz-400MHz. Because Xmon quantum bit coupler and quantum bit energy level are very small in non-harmony, transition to a high-excitation state is easy, and quantum state leakage is easy to generate in the quantum gate operation process.
In some embodiments, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of coupling based on quantum phase sliding bits according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the preset width is taken as an example of 40 nanometers, a nanowire with a width of 40 nanometers is taken as a quantum slip nanowire junction, and two ends of the quantum slip nanowire junction are connected by superconducting wires to form a superconducting loop to be taken as a coupler. The quantum slip nanowire junction-based adjustable coupler is used for adjusting the interaction strength between two quantum phase slip bits to selectively turn on or off the coupling between the two quantum phase slip bits.
In some embodiments, the main structure of the quantum phase sliding bit is a nanowire satisfying a preset width, and indium oxide (InOx) and niobium-silicon (Nb-Si) materials are currently commonly used as materials for nanowires. Nanowires satisfying a preset width are prepared by performing high-precision etching on a superconducting thin film. The critical current of the quantum phase slipping bit realized in the current experiment is about 400nA, and the frequency can reach tens of gigahertz. The higher the frequency of the equivalent quantum phase sliding bit, the more effectively the quantum transition caused by the environmental thermal noise can be suppressed.
In some embodiments, a superconducting loop includes a quantum slip nanowire junction and superconducting wires connecting both ends of the quantum slip nanowire junction. In some further embodiments, the quantum slip nanowire junction comprises a nanowire that is etched based on a superconducting thin film and has a width that meets a preset width.
In some embodiments, the quantum slip bit and the aluminum-aluminum oxide-aluminum tunneling junction carried on the coupler superconducting loop are used for better controlling the frequency of the quantum bit, wherein one or more aluminum-aluminum oxide-aluminum tunneling junctions can be arranged on the coupler superconducting loop according to practical application requirements. Each tunnel junction includes a plurality of superconducting aluminum films stacked and an aluminum oxide film between adjacent ones of the superconducting aluminum films, and in one example, the aluminum-aluminum oxide-aluminum tunnel junction is formed by preparing an oxide layer between two superconducting aluminum films, the oxide layer being formed by controlling an oxidation rate with high accuracy in ultra-high vacuum. The magnetic flux bias line can be used for regulating and controlling the energy level of the coupler and the quantum phase sliding bit.
In some embodiments, the couplers are respectively coupled to the quantum phase sliding bits by cross capacitors, which coupling induces an indirect coupling between the two quantum phase sliding bits. Whereas the indirect coupling of chromatic dispersion depends on the frequency difference between the quantum phase sliding bits and the coupler, the sign of the indirect coupling between the coupler-induced quantum phase sliding bits is opposite to the sign of the direct coupling when the frequency of the coupler is above the two quantum phase sliding bits. When the energy level of the coupler is regulated to a preset value, the indirect coupling and the direct coupling induced by the quantum bit can be counteracted, the effect of closing the coupling between two quantum phase sliding bits is achieved, and therefore the fidelity of the single-bit gate and the two-bit gate is improved. The quantum phase sliding bit and the coupler have larger energy level non-harmony, and can suppress quantum state leakage in the quantum phase sliding bit operation process.
According to the superconducting quantum chip, quantum slip bits are built by utilizing nanowire combination cross capacitors, and a loop is formed by utilizing nanowire combination superconducting wires to build a coupler, so that each quantum slip bit and each coupler can be used for transporting magnetic flux quanta or quantum vortex through the nanowire, further, the coupler is combined with the cross capacitors to control the quantum slip bits to couple, the magnetic flux bias wires are utilized to transmit the magnetic flux quanta to the coupler to realize the adjustment of the energy level of the coupler and the energy level of the quantum slip bits, thereby realizing the flexible control of the coupling turn-off between adjacent quantum slip bits, reducing the on-chip direct current crosstalk of the superconducting quantum chip, avoiding the problem that quantum states leak to the high excitation state of the coupler when the quantum slip bits are subjected to quantum gate operation due to small energy level non-harmony of the coupler, effectively improving the performance of the superconducting quantum chip, enabling the nanowire to be insensitive to external charge noise, enabling the performance to be more stable and higher, enabling the coupler to control the coupling turn-off between adjacent quantum bits to be more reliable, the preparation of the quantum slip bits and the coupler to be simple, the structure of the coupler to be simple, and the preparation efficiency of the superconducting quantum slip bits to effectively reduce the coupling production process of the coupler.
In some embodiments, each coupler is coupled to a corresponding quantum phase sliding bit by a cross capacitance.
