Persistent Current QubitThis qubit design uses a superconducting loop interrupted by three Josephson Junctions.The two lowest energy states, which serve as the |0> and |1> states of the qubit, have circulating currents in opposite directions, with opposite magnetic fields of ~0.001 0.
Rotating the qubit will require flux oscillations at the frequency of the energy difference.The Rabi frequency depends on the magnitude of the flux oscillations.

Sources of Error in Superconducting Qubits
• Offset charge fluctuations• Quasiparticles Q > 104
• Bias current fluctuations
Decoherence from the environment (use error correction)
Dephasing sources (use “spin echo” techniques)• Coupling to nuclear spins• Diople-dipole coupling
Coherent error sources (use dynamic pulse control)• Coupling to higher levels• Two-bit gate coupling

I. Circuits and Components That Have Already Been Tested
A. Simple Control Circuits:
1. On-chip DC-SQUID oscillators have been tested and sufficient inductive coupling to another circuits has been demonstrated. These oscillators however only operated around 3 GHz, so oscillators with variable frequency are now being fabricated. (MIT)
2. Demonstration of inductive coupling between separate chips for use in coupling qubits with control circuits fabricated on different chips (Lincoln).
3. Theoretical modeling of the effect of these simple control circuits on the decoherence of the qubit was included in the designs of the oscillators and measuring system.(MIT/Delft/Rochester)
4. Test at 4.2K of an RF SQUID coupled to a superconductive comparator with readout to room temperature (Lincoln).
5. Fixed-current superconducting loops, for magnetic flux biasing (Rochester)
B. Complex Circuit and components
1. The following components have been designed, fabricated,and tested at 4.2 K.
a. DC/SFQ and SFQ/DC converters (Rochester)
b. DRO memory cells (Rochester)
c. T-Flip-flops (Rochester)
d. Chains of up to 16 T-Flip-flops as counters. (Rochester)
e. SFQ clocks (pulse oscillators) of fixed frequencies designed from 5 to 40 GHz. (Rochester)
f. Pulse splitters and combining buffers (Rochester)
II. Types of Circuits and components that are being fabricated on QC3 (scheduled for completion in later this year.)
A. Simple Circuits:
1. On-chip DC-SQUID oscillators to work in the 5-15 GHz regime (some connected to detectors and some to qubits to do on-chip spectroscopy) (MIT)
2. On-chip SFQ microwave oscillator to work at 8 GHZ regime. (some connected to detectors and some to qubits to do on-chip spectroscopy) (Rochester/MIT)
3. A qubit coupled inductively to a coplanar waveguide. Using an external microwave generator, operating at 1-20GHz, it is possible to map the energy separation between the lowest two energy levels. (Lincoln and MIT)
B. Complex Experiments
List experiments on QC3 and explain briefly whose circuit and why the circuit is important.
1. An NDRO memory cell, similar to a DRO cell but with a non-destructive read-out, is being fabricated. Asuccessful test will allow the timed oscillator experiment (Rochester)
2. Timed oscillator experiment -- by using two out-of-phase counter and an NDRO memory cell, we can make a variable duty cycle oscillator to drive a qubit with a SQUID detector controlled off-chip. (Rochester)
3. Qubit readout experiments
a. QFP Comparators coupled with varying strengths to RF SQUID qubits (Lincoln)
b. QFP Comparators coupled to persistent-current qubits (Lincoln)
c. SFQ Comparators coupled to rf SQUID qubits and to testlines (Rochester)
C. Full Quantum Experiments Circuits (more-than-complex circuits)
1. Superposition-state time evolution experiment using rf SQUID qubit. This design has all-SFQ inputs and outputs, all on-chip; but off-chip timing. (Rochester)
2. Superposition-state time evolution experiment using single-Josephson-junction qubit (inspired by Martinis and Han experiments), with on-chip SFQ control circuits. Specifically designed to be portable to TRW fabrication. (Rochester)
