Surface loss simulations of superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators

Losses in superconducting planar resonators are presently assumed to predominantly arise from surface-oxide dissipation, due to experimental losses varying with choice of materials. We model and simulate the magnitude of the loss from interface surfaces in the resonator and investigate the dependence on power, resonator geometry, and dimensions. Surprisingly, the dominant surface loss is found ...

Quantum channel construction with circuit quantum electrodynamics

Quantum channels can describe all transformations allowed by quantum mechanics. We adapt two existing works [S. Lloyd and L. Viola, Phys. Rev. A 65, 010101 (2001) and E. Andersson and D. K. L. Oi, ibid. 77, 052104 (2008)] to superconducting circuits, featuring a single qubit ancilla with quantum nondemolition readout and adaptive control. This construction is efficient in both ancilla dimension...
