Quantum communication networks with superconducting qubits

ORAL

Abstract

Deterministic state transfer and remote entanglement with microwave photons has recently been demonstrated using different superconducting circuit approaches. More recently, a qubit-to-qubit transfer fidelity greater than 94% has been achieved in Ref. [1]. This experiment used gmon tunable couplers to control the coupling of the qubits to a 0.78 m long transmission line, achieving few nanosecond tuning speed and large tuning range, thereby allowing for the violation of Bell's inequality in a superconducting quantum communication architecture. In this talk, we examine the scalability of this architecture, and explore more complex quantum communication network designs and protocols.
