Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a Josephson transmission line; a soliton driver configured to provide a soliton to propagate along the Josephson transmission line; a soliton detector configured to determine a time-of-flight of the soliton; and a phase qubit coupled to the Josephson transmission line, the phase qubit having a first characteristic frequency in a first state and a second characteristic frequency in a second state; wherein at least one of the soliton detector, the Josephson transmission line, and the phase qubit are configured such that the phase qubit applies a first delay to the propagation of the soliton along the Josephson transmission line when the phase qubit is in the first state and applies a second delay to the propagation of the soliton along the Josephson transmission line when the phase qubit is in the second state.
