[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings are schematic or conceptual, and the relationship between the thickness and width of each part, the size ratio between parts, etc. are not necessarily the same as those in reality. Even when the same part is shown, the dimensions and ratios may be different depending on the drawing. In this specification and in each drawing, elements similar to those previously described with reference to the previous drawings are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted where appropriate.

[0008] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating an electronic circuit according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, an electronic circuit 110 according to the embodiment includes a first quantum bit 51B, a second quantum bit 52B, a first coupler 10A, a first conductive readout member 21, and a first filter 31F.

[0009] The first coupler 10A includes a first resonator 11R and a second resonator 12R. The first resonator 11R is capable of coupling to the first quantum bit 51B. The second resonator 12R is capable of coupling to the second quantum bit 52B. For example, the first resonator 11R is capable of electromagnetically coupling to the first quantum bit 51B. For example, the second resonator 12R is capable of electromagnetically coupling to the second quantum bit 52B. The electromagnetic coupling includes, for example, capacitive coupling. The electromagnetic coupling includes, for example, inductive coupling. The first coupler 10A is, for example, a tunable coupler.

[0010] The first filter 31F includes a first filter portion 31P, a first other filter portion 31Q, and a first readout portion 31R. The first filter portion 31P is capable of being coupled to the first resonator 11R. The first other filter portion 31Q is capable of being coupled to the second resonator 12R. The first readout portion 31R is capable of being coupled to the first readout conductive member 21. The first filter 31F may be, for example, a Purcell filter.

[0011] In this embodiment, the state of the quantum bit is read out via the first filter 31F by the first readout conductive member 21. This makes it possible to provide quantum bits and couplers with high density, for example.

[0012] For example, in the first reference example, the state of the quantum bit is read out via a readout resonator. In the first reference example, the readout resonator has a large area and requires space. This makes it difficult to provide multiple quantum bits at high density.

[0013] In contrast, in the embodiment, the resonator included in the first coupler 10A is coupled to the first filter 31F. The state of the quantum bit is read out via the coupler and the first filter 31F. In the embodiment, the readout resonator can be omitted. Space can be saved. High density quantum bits can be obtained. According to the embodiment, an electronic circuit capable of improving characteristics can be provided.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1 , in this example, the first filter 31F includes a first conductive member 41 and a second conductive member 42. The first conductive member 41 includes a first conductive portion 41p and a first other conductive portion 41q. The second conductive member 42 includes a second conductive portion 42p and a second other conductive portion 42q. The first conductive portion 41p is capable of being coupled to the first resonator 11R. The second conductive portion 42p is capable of being coupled to the second resonator 12R. The first other conductive portion 41q is capable of being coupled to the first readout conductive member 21. The second other conductive portion 42q is capable of being coupled to the first readout conductive member 21.

[0015] The first conductive portion 41p corresponds to the first filter portion 31P. The second conductive portion 42p corresponds to the first other filter portion 31Q. At least one of the first other conductive portion 41q and the second other conductive portion 42q corresponds to the first read portion 31R.

[0016] First quantum bit 51B, second quantum bit 52B, first coupler 10A, first readout conductive member 21, and first filter 31F may be formed, for example, by a conductive layer 85 provided on first surface 81F of first substrate 81. As will be described later, at least a portion of conductive layer 85 may be provided, for example, on a plurality of different substrates.

[0017] 1, the first coupler 10A includes a first coupler Josephson junction 11K. One end of the first coupler Josephson junction 11K is connected to the first resonator 11R. The other end of the first coupler Josephson junction 11K is connected to the second resonator 12R.

[0018] The first resonator 11R includes a first inductor 11L. The second resonator 12R includes a second inductor 12L. In this example, a first resonator Josephson junction 11J is used as the first inductor 11L. In this example, a second resonator Josephson junction 12J is used as the second inductor 12L.

[0019] The first resonator 11R is, for example, a first transmon resonator, the second resonator 12R is, for example, a second transmon resonator, and the first coupler 10A is, for example, a double transmon coupler.

[0020] A first resonator conductive portion 11a is provided connected to the first inductor 11L (first resonator Josephson junction 11J). A second resonator conductive portion 12a is provided connected to the second inductor 12L (second resonator Josephson junction 12J).

[0021] The first filter portion 31P of the first filter 31F can be coupled to the first resonator conductive portion 11a. The first other filter portion 31Q of the first filter 31F can be coupled to the second resonator conductive portion 12a. The first resonator conductive portion 11a and the first inductor 11L (first resonator Josephson junction 11J) are included in the first resonator 11R. The second resonator conductive portion 12a and the second inductor 12L (second resonator Josephson junction 12J) are included in the second resonator 12R.

[0022] 1, the first quantum bit 51B includes a first bit Josephson junction 51J and a first bit conductive portion 51a. The first bit conductive portion 51a is connected to the first bit Josephson junction 51J. The second quantum bit 52B includes a second bit Josephson junction 52J and a second bit conductive portion 52a. The second bit conductive portion 52a is connected to the second bit Josephson junction 52J.

[0023] The first bit conductive portion 51a is capable of being coupled to the first resonator conductive portion 11a, and the second bit conductive portion 52a is capable of being coupled to the second resonator conductive portion 12a.

[0024] A ground conductive layer 85G may be provided by the conductive layer 85. The ground conductive layer 85G is set to a ground potential GND (e.g., a reference potential). For example, the ground conductive layer 85G may be provided around the conductive layer 85 that becomes the first quantum bit 51B, the second quantum bit 52B, the first coupler 10A, the first readout conductive member 21, and the first filter 31F.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1 , a readout circuit 70R may be provided. For example, the readout circuit 70R may be included in the electronic circuit 110. The readout circuit 70R may be provided separately from the electronic circuit 110. The readout circuit 70R is electrically connected to the first readout conductive member 21. The readout circuit 70R can detect the state of the first quantum bit 51B and the state of the second quantum bit 52B based on a signal obtained from the first readout conductive member 21. For example, the readout circuit 70R detects an output signal based on an input signal input to the first readout conductive member 21. This makes it possible to detect the state of the first quantum bit 51B and the state of the second quantum bit 52B. The readout circuit 70R outputs an output signal Sig1 including the detection result.

[0026] FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram illustrating an electronic circuit according to the first embodiment. 2, the first resonator 11R includes a first inductor 11L and a first capacitor 11C. The first capacitor 11C is connected in parallel to the first inductor 11L. As already described, in this example, a first resonator Josephson junction 11J is provided as the first inductor 11L. The first capacitor 11C is connected in parallel to the first resonator Josephson junction 11J.

[0027] The second resonator 12R includes a second inductor 12L and a second capacitor 12C. The second capacitor 12C is connected in parallel to the second inductor 12L. As already described, in this example, a second resonator Josephson junction 12J is provided as the second inductor 12L. The second capacitor 12C is connected in parallel to the second resonator Josephson junction 12J.

[0028] The first coupler 10A further includes a first coupler Josephson junction 11K. One end of the first coupler Josephson junction 11K is connected to one end of the first inductor 11L and one end of the first capacitor 11C. The other end of the first coupler Josephson junction 11K is connected to one end of the second inductor 12L and one end of the second capacitor 12C.

[0029] The other end of the first inductor 11L and the other end of the first capacitor 11C are set to the ground potential GND. The other end of the second inductor 12L and the other end of the second capacitor 12C are set to the ground potential GND.

[0030] The first inductor 11L includes at least one first-resonator Josephson junction 11J. The first inductor 11L may include multiple first-resonator Josephson junctions 11J. The second inductor 12L includes at least one second-resonator Josephson junction 12J. The second inductor 12L may include multiple second-resonator Josephson junctions 12J.

[0031] The first quantum bit 51B includes a first-bit Josephson junction 51J and a first-bit capacitor 51C. The first-bit capacitor 51C is connected in parallel to the first-bit Josephson junction 51J. One end of the first-bit Josephson junction 51J and one end of the first-bit capacitor 51C are connected to the first-bit conductive portion 51a. The first-bit conductive portion 51a is connectable to the first resonator conductive portion 11a. The other end of the first-bit Josephson junction 51J and the other end of the first-bit capacitor 51C are set to the ground potential GND.

[0032] The second quantum bit 52B includes a second bit Josephson junction 52J and a second bit capacitor 52C. The second bit capacitor 52C is connected in parallel with the second bit Josephson junction 52J. One end of the second bit Josephson junction 52J and one end of the second bit capacitor 52C are connected to the second bit conductive portion 52a. The second bit conductive portion 52a is connectable to the second resonator conductive portion 12a. The other end of the second bit Josephson junction 52J and the other end of the second bit capacitor 52C are set to the ground potential GND.

[0033] The first bit conductive portion 51a and the first resonator conductive portion 11a may form a capacitance C1, and the second bit conductive portion 52a and the second resonator conductive portion 12a may form a capacitance C2.

[0034] The first conductive member 41 can be regarded as, for example, an LC circuit connected in parallel. The first conductive member 41 corresponds to, for example, a first filter resonator 41f. The second conductive member 42 can be regarded as, for example, an LC circuit connected in parallel. The second conductive member 42 corresponds to, for example, a second filter resonator 42f. These LC circuits are waveguide resonators.

[0035] In one example, the resonant frequency of the first quantum bit 51B is approximately 8.3 GHz. The resonant frequency of the second quantum bit 52B is approximately 9.0 GHz. The resonant frequency of the first resonator 11R is approximately 11.0 GHz. The resonant frequency of the second resonator 12R is approximately 11.7 GHz. The frequency of the first resonator 11R is different from the resonant frequency of the second resonator 12R. The resonant frequencies of the first resonator 11R and the second resonator 12R are read out via the first filter 31F. The resonant frequencies of the first quantum bit 51B and the second quantum bit 52B are substantially blocked by the first filter 31F.

[0036] In the embodiment, for example, the resonant frequency of first resonator 11R is higher than the resonant frequency of first quantum bit 51B, and the resonant frequency of second resonator 12R is higher than the resonant frequency of second quantum bit 52B.

[0037] 2, a loop 10LP is provided in the first coupler 10A. The loop 10LP includes a conductive path including a first coupler Josephson junction 11K, a conductive path including a first resonator Josephson junction 11J, and a conductive path including a second resonator Josephson junction 12J. For example, by controlling the magnetic flux Φ in the loop 10LP, the coupling strength between the first quantum bit 51B and the second quantum bit 52B can be controlled. The magnetic flux Φ in the loop 10LP may be controlled by a magnetic flux control unit 60, which will be described later.

[0038] For example, the coupling between the first quantum bit 51B and the second quantum bit 52B can be substantially turned off. This state is, for example, an idle state. In the idle state, the first resonator 11R can be considered as a resonator that is strongly coupled to the first quantum bit 51B. The first resonator 11R can function as a readout resonator. In this embodiment, a separately formed readout resonator is not required. A space-saving electronic circuit can be obtained.

[0039] For example, transmons are used instead of linear resonators as the first filter resonator 41f and the second filter resonator 42f. In this case, the transmon input is sufficiently weak. Strong coupling between the first resonator 11R and the first quantum bit 51B results in a large state-dependent frequency shift. For example, with strong coupling, the state-dependent frequency shift is approximately 30 MHz, making it possible to read out the quantum bit state.

[0040] For example, if there is a loss of about 50% in the output signal, a read error probability of less than 1% can be obtained for a read period of 200 ns.

[0041] FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating the characteristics of the electronic circuit according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 illustrates the pass characteristics of the first filter 31F. The horizontal axis of FIG. 3 represents frequency fr1. The vertical axis represents pass ratio Tr. As already described, the first filter 31F may include a first filter resonator 41f and a second filter resonator 42f. FIG. 3 illustrates the pass characteristics of each of the first filter resonator 41f and the second filter resonator 42f. As shown in FIG. 3, the first filter 31F includes a pass band 50p, a first non-pass band 50r, and a second non-pass band 50s. The frequency fr1 of the pass band 50p is higher than the frequency fr1 of the first non-pass band 50r. The frequency fr1 of the pass band 50p is lower than the frequency fr1 of the second non-pass band 50s. The non-pass band (e.g., the first non-pass band 50r) corresponds to the reflection band of the first filter 31F. The passbands of the first filter resonator 41f and the second filter resonator 42f are included in the passband 50p.

[0042] 3 illustrates the resonant frequency f10A of the first coupler 10A. The resonant frequency f10A of the first coupler 10A includes the resonant frequency of the first resonator 11R and the resonant frequency of the second resonator 12R. The passband 50p of the first filter 31F includes the resonant frequency of the first resonator 11R and the resonant frequency of the second resonator 12R.

[0043] 3 illustrates an example of a quantum bit frequency f50. The quantum bit frequency f50 includes the resonant frequency of first quantum bit 51B and the resonant frequency of second quantum bit 52B. The reflection band of first filter 31F includes the quantum bit frequency f50 (the resonant frequency of first quantum bit 51B and the resonant frequency of second quantum bit 52B).

[0044] In the embodiment, the first filter 31F passes the resonant frequency of the first resonator 11R in an idle state. The first filter 31F does not substantially pass the resonant frequency of the first quantum bit 51B. Such a first filter 31F is coupled to the first readout conductive member 21. The first readout conductive member 21 functions as a readout line. In the embodiment, high-speed readout is possible. In the embodiment, a good quantum bit coherence time (high gate fidelity) is obtained.

[0045] In the embodiment, for example, the passband of the first filter 31F includes the resonant frequency of the first resonator 11R when the first coupling strength is substantially zero.

[0046] In one example, the absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of first resonator 11R and the resonant frequency of first quantum bit 51B may be greater than the absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of first resonator 11R and the resonant frequency of second resonator 12R. The absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of second resonator 12R and the resonant frequency of second quantum bit 52B may be greater than the absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of first resonator 11R and the resonant frequency of second resonator 12R.

[0047] In one example, the absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of the first quantum bit 51B and the resonant frequency of the second quantum bit 52B may be smaller than the absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of the first resonator 11R and the resonant frequency of the first quantum bit 51B. The absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of the first quantum bit 51B and the resonant frequency of the second quantum bit 52B may be smaller than the absolute value of the difference between the resonant frequency of the second resonator 12R and the resonant frequency of the second quantum bit 52B.

[0048] FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view illustrating the electronic circuit according to the first embodiment. 4, an electronic circuit 111 according to the embodiment includes a first quantum bit 51B, a second quantum bit 52B, a first coupler 10A, a first readout conductive member 21, and a first filter 31F. The configuration of the first filter 31F in the electronic circuit 111 is different from the configuration of the first filter 31F in the electronic circuit 110. Other configurations of the electronic circuit 111 may be similar to the configuration of the electronic circuit 110.

[0049] In the electronic circuit 111, the first filter 31F includes a first conductive member 41, a second conductive member 42, and at least one third conductive member 43. The third conductive member 43 is provided between the first conductive member 41 and the second conductive member 42. A plurality of third conductive members 43 may be provided. In this example, three third conductive members 43 are provided between the first conductive member 41 and the second conductive member 42. The third conductive member 43 can be coupled to the first conductive member 41 and the second conductive member 42.

[0050] The first conductive member 41 includes a first conductive portion 41p and a first other conductive portion 41q. The first conductive portion 41p is capable of being coupled to the first resonator 11R. The second conductive member 42 is capable of being coupled to the second resonator 12R. The first other conductive portion 41q is capable of being coupled to the first readout conductive member 21. The second conductive member 42 includes a second conductive portion 42p and a second other conductive portion 42q. The second conductive portion 42p is capable of being coupled to the second resonator 12R.

[0051] The first conductive portion 41p corresponds to the first filter portion 31P. The second conductive member 42 (second conductive portion 42p) corresponds to the first other filter portion 31Q. The first other conductive portion 41q corresponds to the first read portion 31R.

[0052] In the first filter 31F in the electronic circuit 111, the steepness of the change in the pass rate Tr between the pass band 50p and the non-pass band can be improved. For example, the read speed is improved. For example, performance is improved with respect to the coherence time of the quantum bit (high gate fidelity).

[0053] For example, the first filter 31F passes the resonant frequency of the first resonator 11R in an idle state and the resonant frequency of the second resonator 12R in an idle state. The first filter 31F does not substantially pass the quantum bit frequency over a wide band. A sharp bandpass filter is obtained.

[0054] FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view illustrating the electronic circuit according to the first embodiment. 5, an electronic circuit 112 according to the embodiment includes a first quantum bit 51B, a second quantum bit 52B, a first coupler 10A, a first conductive readout member 21, and a first filter 31F. The configuration of the first filter 31F in the electronic circuit 112 is different from the configuration of the first filter 31F in the electronic circuit 110. Other configurations of the electronic circuit 112 may be similar to the configuration of the electronic circuit 110.

[0055] In the electronic circuit 112, the first filter 31F includes a first conductive member 41, a second conductive member 42, and a third conductive member 43. The first conductive member 41 is capable of being coupled to the first resonator 11R. The second conductive member 42 is capable of being coupled to the second resonator 12R. The third conductive member 43 is capable of being coupled to the first readout conductive member 21. At least a portion of the third conductive member 43 is provided between the first conductive member 41 and the second conductive member 42.

[0056] For example, the first filter 31F includes a first conductive member Josephson junction 41J, a second conductive member Josephson junction 42J, and a third conductive member Josephson junction 43J. The first conductive member Josephson junction 41J is coupleable with the first conductive member 41. The second conductive member Josephson junction 42J is coupleable with the second conductive member 42. The third conductive member Josephson junction 43J is coupleable with the third conductive member 43.

[0057] The first filter 31F is based on, for example, a transmon resonator. In this embodiment, the first coupler 10A is a double transmon coupler. The transmon of the first coupler 10A functions as a readout resonator. By using the first filter 31F based on a transmon resonator, further space saving is possible.

[0058] FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view illustrating the electronic circuit according to the first embodiment. 6, in the electronic circuit 113 according to the embodiment, the configurations of the first conductive member 41 and the second conductive member 42 included in the first filter 31F are different from those in the electronic circuit 110. Other configurations of the electronic circuit 113 may be the same as those of the electronic circuit 110.

[0059] In the electronic circuit 113, the first conductive member 41 includes a plurality of first filter conductive portions (conductive portions 41a to 41c, etc.). The second conductive member 42 includes a plurality of second filter conductive portions (conductive portions 42a to 42c, etc.). The plurality of first filter conductive portions (conductive portions 41a to 41c) can be coupled to one another. The plurality of second filter conductive portions (conductive portions 42a to 42c, etc.) can be coupled to one another.

[0060] For example, a first conductive portion 41p is provided in one of the plurality of first filter conductive portions. For example, a first other conductive portion 41q is provided in another one of the plurality of first filter conductive portions. A second conductive portion 42p is provided in one of the plurality of second filter conductive portions. A second other conductive portion 42q is provided in another one of the plurality of second filter conductive portions.
