Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If direct microwave driving mode is used to initialize qubit, then qubit can be excited to coupled readout resonator, but initialization time is too long and microwave power required is large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a tunable resonator as an intermediary between the microwave source and the qubit. The resonator is tuned to resonate with the qubit at a specific frequency, enabling efficient energy transfer. This intermediary approach allows initialization to be achieved with lower microwave power and faster speed compared to direct driving, as the resonator amplifies the coupling effect between the microwave field and the qubit state.
2Productivity
If direct microwave driving mode is used for initialization, then qubit can be excited, but large-scale multi-bit initialization efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The tunable resonator is designed to couple with multiple qubits simultaneously, enabling a single resonator to serve multiple initialization functions. By tuning the resonator frequency to match the qubit frequency, the system can initialize multiple qubits in parallel or sequentially with the same resonator, greatly improving multi-bit initialization efficiency and reducing total initialization time compared to addressing each qubit individually.
3Reliability
If temperature is at tens of mK, then quantum state can be maintained, but thermal excitation causes residual 1 state and calculation errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by using the tunable resonator to actively initialize the qubit to the |0⟩ state before computation begins. Instead of relying solely on passive thermal relaxation at tens of mK, which leaves residual |1⟩ states, the resonator-driven initialization actively pumps the qubit into the desired ground state, removing thermal errors in advance and ensuring high-fidelity initial conditions for subsequent quantum operations.
