Nanomechanical manipulation of superconducting charge-qubit quantum networks

Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2024

We suggest a nanoelectromechanical setup and corresponding time-protocol for controlling parameters in order to demonstrate nanomechanical manipulation of superconducting charge-qubit quantum network. We illustrate it on an example reflecting important task for quantum information processing — transmission of quantum information between two charge-qubits facilitated by nanomechanics. The setup is based on terminals utilizing the AC Josephson effect between bias voltage-controlled bulk superconductors and mechanically vibrating mesoscopic superconducting grain in the regime of the Cooper pair box, controlled by the gate voltage. The described manipulation of quantum network is achieved by transduction of quantum information between charge-qubits and intentionally built nanomechanical coherent states, which facilitate its transmission between qubits. This performance is achieved using quantum entanglement between electrical and mechanical states.
