Description

超导量子比特的读取装置 技术领域
本公开涉及量子计算领域，尤其涉及一种超导量子比特的读取装置。
背景技术
超导量子比特的色散测量是指将待测量子比特与一线性谐振腔相耦合，使得比特的状态会改变谐振腔的频率。利用这种方式，我们可以通过测量谐振腔的频率来间接测量比特的状态。
色散测量的关键在于将量子比特与读取腔相耦合。现有技术中通常将超导量子比特与谐振腔通过电容相耦合。这种耦合结构所产生的效果即为量子力学中的横向耦合，或称XX耦合。其哈密顿量可写为如下形式：
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000001
其中ω r为读取腔的频率，ω q为比特的跃迁频率，g为比特与读取腔的耦合强度。在比特与读取腔的失谐Δ＝ω q-ω r与耦合器强度相比足够大(g＜＜Δ)时，可以将上述哈密顿量做参考系变换
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000002
得到其在比特-读取腔系统能量本征态上的表示形式：
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000003
通过以上哈密顿量可以看出，在系统的能量本征态基矢下，比特与读取腔的耦合形式变为纵向耦合(ZZ耦合)，比特所处的状态会改变读取腔的频率，这种现象也称为AC Stark效应。
在实现本公开构思的过程中，发明人发现相关技术中至少存在如下问题：上述方法所采用的比特-读取腔耦合形式实质上是横向耦合，仅在大失谐近似前提下在比特-读取腔整体的能量本征态基矢下显示为纵向耦合。因此，当读取信号较强，读取腔内光子数较多时，比特会被读取腔驱动从而造成测量误差。因此，现有技术中读取信号的强度受到限制。 考虑到读取信号中噪声的存在，读取信号强度的限制会直接转化为对读取保真度的限制。
发明内容
针对上述技术问题，本公开提供了一种超导量子比特的读取装置，以期至少部分地解决上述技术问题。
为了实现上述目的，本公开提供了一种超导量子比特的读取装置，所述读取装置包括：量子比特、读取腔和约瑟夫森结，其中，所述量子比特和所述读取腔通过所述约瑟夫森结耦合。
其中，所述读取装置的量子比特与所述读取腔在各自独立的能量本征态基矢下存在所述约瑟夫森结的ZZ耦合。
其中，所述读取腔为分布式的传输线型谐振腔。
其中，连接所述量子比特与所述传输线型谐振腔的所述约瑟夫森结个数为一个；所述约瑟夫森结与所述传输线型谐振腔的连接点位置及传输线特性阻抗根据所需的耦合强度等参数确定。
其中，连接所述量子比特与所述传输线型谐振腔的约瑟夫森结个数为两个或两个以上。
其中，所述量子比特与所述读取腔的耦合方式还包括通过所述约瑟夫森结和电容同时进行耦合。
其中，所述量子比特为Transmon量子比特或Plasonium量子比特。
其中，所述读取腔耦合于一条读取线，所述读取腔与所述读取线的耦合方式为电容耦合或电感耦合。

具体实施方式
本公开实现了比特-读取腔系统真正的纵向耦合(ZZ耦合)，即利用比特与读取腔各自独立的能量本征态编码所形成的哈密顿量即展现为ZZ耦合。采用这种耦合结构的读取装置可以大幅提升读取信号的强度，以增大读取信号的信噪比，提高读取保真度。
本公开主要改变了比特与读取腔系统的耦合结构。区别于以往比特与读取腔通过电容耦合的方式，本公开中采用约瑟夫森结来耦合比特与读取腔，即将量子比特通过约瑟夫森结与一读取腔耦合在一起。
为使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白，以下结合具体实施例，并参照附图，对本公开作进一步的详细说明。
本公开中的读取腔可以采用传输线型谐振腔结构。传输线型谐振腔是目前应用最广泛，也较易制作的一种读取腔，因而在实施例中主要针对传输线型读取腔进行说明。
图1示例性地展示了本公开中量子比特与读取腔的耦合结构；量子比特通过约瑟夫森结与传输线型谐振腔上一点相连。图1中斜线所指示的线路构成一回路，回路中有外加磁通φ ext穿过。
以下对这一系统的哈密顿量进行推导，以说明这一系统中量子比特与读取腔的具体耦合形式。
首先将读取腔和量子比特各自作为一个独立的系统进行量子化。传输线上的状态可以用传输线上各点的相位来表示。由于电荷守恒，传输线上的相位满足正弦函数分布。以四分之一波长的传输线谐振腔为例，其相位分布为φ＝φ rsin(πx/2l)。其中x为该点与谐振腔短路端的距离，l为谐振腔的总长度，φ r为谐振腔上相位的最大值。因此，谐振腔的状 态可以通过相位φ r与其共轭变量(记为库珀对算符n r)来描述。相位算符、库珀对算符与谐振腔的产生湮灭算符
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000004
的关系可以写为如下形式：
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000005
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000006
其中，A为与谐振腔性质有关的参数，其取值与腔的长度、传输线特性阻抗等有关。
针对量子比特的状态，这里以目前超导量子计算中最常用的Transmon量子比特为例进行讨论。其同样可以用相位算符(记为
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000007
)、库珀对算符(记为
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000008
)与量子比特的产生湮灭算符
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000009
来表示。相位算符、库珀对算符与产生湮灭算符的关系如下：
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000010
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000011
其中E J、E C分别为Transmon量子比特的约瑟夫森能和电荷能。
如图2所示，按传输线上各点相位的正弦函数分布计算，即可得到传输线上任意一点的相位。以四分之一波长传输线为例，设传输线与耦合约瑟夫森结的连接点与传输线短路端相距为x，则其相位为
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000012
为便于描述，以下仅以系数k代替相位的分布权重sin(πx/2l)，如上式所示。
该系统耦合约瑟夫森结的哈密顿量，即比特与读取腔的耦合项为
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000013
其中E JC为耦合约瑟夫森结的约瑟夫森能，φ ext为该系统中耦合约瑟夫森结、比特约瑟夫森结所在回路(如图1中斜线所示)中穿过的外加磁通。当外加磁通为整数个磁通量子时，该耦合项为
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000014
将上式中三角函数泰勒展开到二阶项，即
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000015
sin ψ～ψ
则可以将耦合项写作比特与读取腔各自产生、湮灭算符的形式
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000016
上式已省略常数项等与耦合无关的项。上式第一项即代表纵向耦合，第二项代表横向耦合，第三项代表双光子横向耦合。因此，本公开中的耦合结构既可以实现如现有技术中电容耦合结构所实现的纵向耦合，还可以实现横向耦合。其中，各种形式的耦合强度与耦合约瑟夫森结的能量、耦合约瑟夫森结与传输线型谐振腔的连接位置、传输线特性阻抗等参数有关。因此，可以根据耦合强度等需求确定以上参数。
为进一步说明本公开的可行性，以下以一个具体的设计参数为例进行说明。
假设所述传输线谐振腔为四分之一波长的传输线谐振腔，则
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000017
其中，Z 0为传输线的特性阻抗，e为电子电荷量，h为普朗克常数。取耦合约瑟夫森能E JC＝200MHz，比特电荷能E C＝0.24GHz，约瑟夫森能E J＝15GHz，传输线谐振腔频率6.4GHz，特性阻抗50Ω，耦合约瑟夫森结与谐振腔连接处于谐振腔的断路一端。按以上参数，比 特跃迁频率约5.1GHz，k＝1，A＝0.176。此时，可以得到比特与读取腔的ZZ耦合强度为0.78MHz，XX耦合强度为12.5MHz，双光子XX耦合强度为0.20MHz。即比特处在基态或第一激发态对读取腔的频率有0.78MHz的改变。若采用现有技术中纯横向耦合的方式，在比特与读取腔频率不变的情况下，则需要约52MHz的横向耦合强度，相比于本公开中的12.5MHz横向耦合大3倍。因此，本公开可以使得读取信号的功率得到极大的提升。此外，双光子XX耦合以及其它在泰勒展开中省略的高阶项因耦合强度极小产生的影响可以忽略不计。
以上讨论均在回路中外加磁通等于整数个磁通量子的情况下进行。当外加磁通不等于整数个磁通量子时，同样参照上述方法进行计算，耦合哈密顿量中会出现XZ耦合等项，同时XX耦合与ZZ耦合等比例减小。实际上，新出现的XZ等耦合项由于频率不匹配影响可以忽略不计。但减小的ZZ耦合强度会影响读取效果。因此，在实际应用中需要尽量控制外加磁通在整数个磁通量子(在实践中通常为0)附近。必要时可采用单独的磁通控制线以调节该磁通的大小。
以上讨论的是一种利用一个约瑟夫森结耦合读取腔与量子比特的读取装置。实际上还可以采用多个约瑟夫森结来耦合读取腔与量子比特。下面列举一种双约瑟夫森结耦合的方案，该方案可以利用两个约瑟夫森结的对称性来进一步抵消XX耦合项，以进一步提高读取保真度。
如图3所示，两个约瑟夫森结与传输线型谐振腔连接于与相位0点对称的位置，耦合处谐振腔的相位分别为φ和-φ。仍记比特的相位算符为
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000018
该系统中有两个回路，通过这两个回路中的外加磁通在图中分别以φ ext1和φ ext2表示。当这两个外加磁通均为整数个磁通量子时，该系统耦合哈密顿量为
Figure PCTCN2021108175-appb-000019
参照讨论单约瑟夫森结耦合时的计算方法可以发现，该耦合哈密顿量中没有XX耦合项，但ZZ耦合项仍然存在。因此，这种结构可以进 一步解决残留的XX耦合对比特读取时的驱动错误，有助于进一步提高读取保真度。
本公开所述读取腔与量子比特的耦合既可以只通过约瑟夫森结进行耦合，还可以在此基础上加入电容耦合等耦合形式。图4示意性地给出了一种同时包含约瑟夫森结耦合与电容耦合的读取装置。其中，约瑟夫森结的耦合可以产生前述XX耦合与ZZ耦合，而电容耦合可以产生如背景技术中所述的XX耦合。通过调节耦合约瑟夫森结及耦合电容的大小及它们与读取腔连接点的位置等参数，可以至少部分抵消XX耦合的强度。
读取装置主要包含量子比特、读取腔以及耦合约瑟夫森结。其中，量子比特可以为目前最常用的Transmon量子比特，也可以为Plasonium量子比特(专利公布号CN 111723936 A)等其它形式的量子比特。读取腔可以为分布式的传输线型谐振腔，也可以为集总参数模型下的LC谐振器。若采用分布式的传输线型谐振腔，按腔的长度可以分为四分之一波长腔、二分之一波长腔、四分之三波长腔等。其中四分之一波长腔由于占用空间较少，集成性较好因而实用性最佳。
本公开的实施例主要针对读取腔为传输线型谐振腔的情形，但所述内容可以轻易地拓展至包括读取腔为集总模型下的LC谐振器等其他情形。例如，集总模型下的LC谐振器同样可以用相位算符及库珀对算符来表示其状态，并计算出其与量子比特的耦合。具体过程在此不再赘述。
如图5所示，实线框内为该读取装置的一个局部设计图。图中白色部分为超导体，黑色部分为未附着超导体的基底。量子比特与谐振腔通过一个约瑟夫森结进行耦合，耦合部分在虚线框中进行了放大展示。图中谐振腔由一条长度为四分之一波长的传输线组成，该传输线一端短路，另一端断路，耦合约瑟夫森结与读取腔连接于其断路端。谐振腔耦合于一条读取线。谐振腔与读取线的耦合方式可以是电容耦合，也可以是电感耦合，图中展示的耦合方式为电容耦合。读取信号从读取线一端输入，另一端输出。通过测量输出的读取信号即可判断量子比特所处的状态。
本公开所提出的读取装置与读取方法均在色散测量的框架之下，可 以与任意其他的色散测量手段相结合。例如，读取信号可以从一端输入，另一端输出；也可以从同一端输入与输出。读取线上可以引入滤波器结构，以减小因读取腔信号的流失以及量子比特因Purcell效应造成的弛豫现象。
综上所述，与传统读取装置相比，本公开的超导量子比特的读取装置相对于现有技术至少具有如下有益效果：
本公开实现了比特与读取腔的纵向耦合(ZZ耦合)，降低了现有技术中横向耦合(XX耦合)在读取时对量子比特的驱动错误，使得在应用中可以通过提升读取功率来提高读取保真度。
以上所述的具体实施例，对本公开的目的、技术方案和有益效果进行了进一步详细说明，应理解的是，以上所述仅为本公开的具体实施例而已，并不用于限制本公开，凡在本公开的精神和原则之内，所做的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本公开的保护范围之内。
