Abstract

Echoed Conditional Displacement (ECD) gates constitute a fundamental building block for quantum control of harmonic oscillator modes. However, bit-flips of the auxiliary qubit remain a dominant error mechanism for this kind of bosonic control. In this work, we present a numerical case study of a bit-flip protected fluxonium operating as the control qubit and numerically implement ECD gates in a single-mode resonator-fluxonium device, demonstrating that fidelities exceeding 99.9% are possible. We systematically investigate the resonator dynamics using a combination of semiclassical trajectories and master equation simulations, numerically revealing asymptotic saturation of the dispersive shift in the strongly driven regime of the resonator. We develop an efficient technique to numerically simulate the strongly driven regime of the resonator using a semiclassical formulation that maps the full perturbation series in the dispersive expansion as order-by-order frequency shifts. This provides a compact polynomial description of the resonator which is intuitive and remains valid throughout the dispersive regime. Furthermore, we propose an improved ECD sequence that accounts for the effects of photon loss and spurious nonlinear terms on resonator trajectories.

Dissipation across the ultrastrong-coupling regime of nanomechanical quantum Rabi systems

Mechanical resonators ultrastrongly coupled to quantum two-level systems provide a promising route towards mechanical qubits by introducing significant anharmonicity to the mechanical modes, particularly in the slow-oscillator regime. Although the resulting hybrid system is well described by the quantum Rabi model, a c...

Quantum Rabi oscillations of a qubit strongly coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide

We theoretically investigate quantum Rabi oscillations in a system consisting of a two-level atom (qubit) strongly coupled to a one-dimensional open waveguide. In contrast to conventional cavity quantum electrodynamics, the qubit interacts with a continuum of propagating modes, which gives rise to fundamentally differe...

Conditional-squeezing gate in superconducting circuits

We present an implementation of a conditional-squeezing gate that squeezes a SQUID-terminated resonator mode along a direction determined by the state of a dispersively coupled qubit. This gate generalizes the controlled-squeezing gate [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{111}, 042606 (2025)], and relies on a refocusing technique to...

Counterdiabatic quasi-Floquet control for the generation of entangled BICs using giant atoms

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) provide a mechanism for preserving entanglement in waveguide quantum electrodynamics. Here, using quantum control techniques in a configuration of two braided giant atoms, we propose a robust approach to create high-fidelity entangled BICs. The protocol combines quasi-Floquet modula...
