  2. 1. Quantum Coherence in the Single Cooper Pair Box

    Author : Kevin Bladh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coherent oscillations; single Cooper pair box; quantum coherence; radio frequency single electron transistor; cryogenic filters;

    Abstract : This thesis presents measurements of quantum coherence in a single Cooper pair box, where quantum oscillations of charge between a reservoir and a small superconducting island have been observed. The single Cooper pair box (SCB) consists of a small metallic island which is connected to a reservoir via a tunnel junction. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Single Cooper Pair Box - a Quantum-Mechanical Electronic Circuit

    Author : David Gunnarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum capacitance; quantum computing; single Cooper-pair box; SET; radio-frequency single-electron-transistor; macroscopic quantum coherence; Qubit;

    Abstract : In this thesis the single Cooper pair box (SCB) is investigated with a radio frequency single electron transistor (RF-SET). The RF-SET is used as an electrometer to detect the charge of the SCB. The SCB can be regarded as a quantum two-level system and could therefore be a possible qubit. READ MORE

  5. 3. Controllable coupling of superconducting qubits and implementation of quantum gate protocols

    Author : Margareta Wallquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Controllable Qubit-Coupling; Single Cooper-Pair Box; Josephson Effect; Quantum Gate; Superconducting Circuit; Quantum Computer; Qubit; Quantum Electrical Circuit;

    Abstract : The concept of a quantum computer was invented in the beginning of the 1980s as a quantum generalization of the reversible classical computer. After discoveries in the middle of the 1990s of quantum algorithms, which wouldsolve some problems considered intractable for classical computers, the field of quantum computing has developed rapidly.

  6. 4. Read-out of superconducting qubits - a quantum measurement process

    Author : Lars Tornberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superconducting qubits; single Cooper Pair box; quantum measurements; quantum electrical circuits; quatum computing;

    Abstract : In this work we consider measurements on quantum systems emphasizingon read-out of superconducting qubits. The qubit is always coupled to anenvironment, containing a macroscopic number of degrees of freedom. Thisperturbs the qubit and destroys the phase coherence of the quantum state. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fast dynamics and measurements of single-charge devices

    Author : Fredrik Persson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resonator; single-electron box; superconducting devices; decoherence; quantum capacitance; Sisyphus resistance; transmon; single-Cooper-pair box; qubit; rf-reflectometry;

    Abstract : In this thesis we present measurements on several different devices, including the single-Cooper-pair box (SCB), the single-electron box, tunable superconducting resonators and so called transmon qubits.By exploiting the quantum capacitance of the SCB, its state was measured by embedding the box in a radio-frequency resonator.
