Towards a complete, continuous, Wigner function for an ensemble of spins or qubits

We present a new quasi-probability distribution function for ensembles of spin-half particles or qubits that has many properties in common with Wigner's original function for systems of continuous variables. We show that this function provides clear and intuitive graphical representation of a wide variety of states, including Fock states, spin-coherent states, squeezed states, superpositions and statistical mixtures. Unlike previous attempts to represent ensembles of spins/qubits, this distribution is capable of simultaneously representing several angular momentum shells.

Experimentally Realizable C-NOT Gate in a Flux Qubit/Resonator System

In this paper we present an experimentally realizable microwave pulse sequence that effects a Controlled NOT (C-NOT) gate operation on a Josephson junction-based flux-qubit/resonator system with high fidelity in the end state. We obtained a C-NOT gate process fidelity of 0.988 (0.980) for a two (three) qubit/resonator system under ideal conditions, and a fidelity of 0.903 for a two qubit/resonator system under the best, currently achieved, experimental conditions. In both cases, we found that "qubit leakage" to higher levels of the resonator causes a majority of the loss of fidelity, and that such leakage becomes more pronounced as decoherence effects increase.
