Enabling Classical-Quantum Interface Using Digital SFQ for Pulse-Phase Driven Control for Superconducting Qubits

In the interest of alleviating qubit coherence constraints and making quantum control circuits more efficient, this paper explores qubit control using superconducting Single-Flux Quantum (SFQ) digital circuits. By using SFQ pulse trains and SFQ switches, we represent qubit state transformations through their equivalent phase changes, where each SFQ pulse represents a phase change of certain degrees. We propose classical-based unitary quantum gates represented by SFQ pulses. We create a classical equivalent model for quantum gates based on an SFQ-based parametric pulse sequence equivalent to quantum Pauli gates. To generate pulse sequences of configurable parameters, we implement a versatile multi-frequency pulse generator that seamlessly integrates with the qubit-resonator cavity.

Abstract

In the interest of alleviating qubit coherence constraints and making quantum control circuits more efficient, this paper explores qubit control using superconducting Single-Flux Quantum (SFQ) digital circuits. By using SFQ pulse trains and SFQ switches, we represent qubit state transformations through their equivalent phase changes, where each SFQ pulse represents a phase change of certain degrees. We propose classical-based unitary quantum gates represented by SFQ pulses. We create a classical equivalent model for quantum gates based on an SFQ-based parametric pulse sequence equivalent to quantum Pauli gates. To generate pulse sequences of configurable parameters, we implement a versatile multi-frequency pulse generator that seamlessly integrates with the qubit-resonator cavity.
