Abstract:
A method of performing a calculation with a quantum computer, comprising:providing a plurality of qubit devices including a first qubit device and a second qubit device, each of said plurality of qubit devices including a superconducting loop and one or more superconducting fingers, said superconducting loop including at least one Josephson junction, each of said one or more superconducting fingers extending from said superconducting loop towards the interior of said superconducting loop, each of said one or more superconducting fingers further including a mesoscopic island separated from the rest of said superconducting finger by a finger Josephson junction; initializing each of said qubits, including initializing a first qubit and a second qubit; performing a calculation, including performing an entanglement operation on said first qubit and said second qubit; and reading out the result of the calculation, including measuring a first qubit value and a second qubit value.
