Patent attributes
A structure comprising a tank circuit inductively coupled to a flux qubit or a phase qubit. In some embodiments, a low temperature preamplifier is in electrical communication with the tank circuit. The tank circuit comprises an effective capacitance and an effective inductance that are in parallel or in series. In some embodiments, the effective inductance comprises a multiple winding coil of wire. A method that includes the steps of (i) providing a tank circuit and a phase qubit that are inductively coupled, (ii) reading out a state of the phase qubit, (iii) applying a flux to the phase qubit that approaches a net zero flux, (iv) increasing a level of flux applied to the phase qubit, and (v) observing a response of the tank circuit in a readout device.
