1Force
If qubits are coupled using direct electrical interaction between inductor loops, then coupling strength is improved, but crosstalk between qubits increases
Solution Approach 1:
A flux-tunable coupler is introduced as an intermediary component between the first and second inductor loops. This coupler mediates the electrical interaction, allowing controlled coupling between qubits while suppressing unwanted direct interactions that cause crosstalk. The coupler can be tuned to enable or disable coupling as needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic control of coupling strength through the flux-tunable coupler, which can adjust its coupling parameter in real-time. This allows the system to optimize coupling strength when entanglement is desired while reducing coupling to minimize crosstalk during other operations, making the coupling adaptive rather than static.
2Adaptability or versatility
If qubits on disparate integrated circuits are coupled, then scalability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The quantum computing system is segmented into multiple separate integrated circuits, each containing qubits and local control circuitry. This segmentation allows independent fabrication and testing of individual circuit modules, which can then be combined through the flux-tunable coupler interface, simplifying the overall system assembly and maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The flux-tunable coupler serves multiple functions: it enables coupling between disparate integrated circuits, provides可调 coupling strength, suppresses crosstalk, and can be controlled through a unified flux control mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components for each function, thereby managing system complexity.
3Productivity
If coupling magnitude between qubits is increased, then entanglement efficiency is improved, but unwanted interactions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The flux-tunable coupler enables dynamic adjustment of coupling magnitude. During entanglement operations, the coupling strength is increased to maximize entanglement efficiency. During other operations, the coupling strength is reduced or disabled to minimize unwanted interactions, providing temporal separation of high-coupling and low-coupling phases.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the coupling parameter of the flux-tunable coupler based on operational requirements. By adjusting the flux control parameter, the coupling magnitude between qubits can be precisely controlled to match the demands of different quantum operations, optimizing performance while minimizing side effects.

AI summary
Various systems and methods are presented regarding utilizing a spiral resonator to enhance coupling between a first inductor loop and a second inductor loop to enable coupling between a first qubit and a second qubit. Operation of the first inductor loop can be controlled by a flux-tunable TCQ coupler, wherein flux-tuning can adjust operation from an OFF state (no coupling between the first qubit and the second qubit) to an ON state (the first qubit and second qubit are coupled). The spiral resonator can be located at the center of, and in the same plane as the loop of the first inductor loop. The spiral resonator can enhance inductive coupling between the first loop inductor and the second loop inductor.
