Building Block For Universal Continuous Variables Computation In Superconducting Devices

Continuous variable (CV) quantum computation offers an alternative to qubit-based computing by exploiting the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of bosonic modes. Despite recent progress, superconducting platforms have yet to demonstrate a scalable architecture capable of universal computation. Here, we design and numerically simulate a two-layer superconducting architecture that implements all five interactions of the universal CV gate set (rotation, displacement, squeezing, Kerr, and beam splitter) within experimentally accessible regimes. To this end, we employ a DC-SQUID as the bosonic mode, a fluxonium qubit to mediate nonlinear interactions, and two ancillary qubits that enable Gaussian and multi-mode operations. By tuning fluxes and frequencies, we achieve high fidelities ($\geq 98\%$) across all gates within state-of-the-art parameter ranges. The modular nature of the design allows straightforward scaling, establishing a feasible pathway toward high-fidelity, universal CV quantum computation based on superconducting circuits.

Native Conditional $i$SWAP Operation with Superconducting Artificial Atoms

Controlling the flow of quantum information is a fundamental task for quantum computers, which is unfeasible to realize on classical devices. Coherent devices which can process quantum states are thus required to route the quantum states that encode information. In this paper we demonstrate experimentally the smallest quantum transistor with a superconducting quantum processor which is composed of a collector qubit, an emitter qubit, and a coupler (transistor gate). The interaction strength between the collector and emitter qubits is controlled by the frequency and state of the coupler, effectively implementing a quantum switch. Through the coupler-state-dependent Heisenberg (inherent) interaction between the qubits, a single-step (native) conditional $i$SWAP operation can be applied. To this end, we find that it is important to take into consideration higher energy level for achieving a native and high-fidelity transistor operation. By reconstructing the Quantum Process Tomography, we obtain an operation fidelity of $92.36\%$ when the transistor gate is open ($i$SWAP implementation) and $95.23 \%$ in the case of closed gate (identity gate implementation). The architecture has strong potential in quantum information processing applications with superconducting qubits.
