Abstract:
1. A quantum processor apparatus, comprising: a first superconducting device comprising a respective loop and at least one respective Josephson junction interrupting the respective loop; a second superconducting device comprising a respective loop and at least one respective Josephson junction interrupting the respective loop, the respective loop including a first portion and a second portion, the second superconducting device positioned with respect to the first superconducting device such that a static coupling is provided by a first inductive coupling between the first portion of the second superconducting device and the first superconducting device when a current passes through the respective loop of at least one of the first or the second superconduting device; and a third superconducting device comprising a respective loop and at least one respective Josephson junction interrupting the respective loop, the third superconducting device positioned with respect to the first and the second superconducting devices to provide a dynamic coupler-mediated coupling between the first superconducting device and the second superconducting device via a second inductive coupling between the first superconducting device and the second portion of the second superconducting device when the current passes through the respective loop of at least one of the first or the second superconduting device.
