We’ve finally completed our first ‘network’ experiment, and the preprint is online!
Michae, Abdullah, Xi and team have been able to realize a very efficient “plug-and-play” interconnect between separate transmon qubit devices. By plug-and-play we mean that you can unplug and re-plug the cable connection, like in interfaces with modern electronics.
Important features of the work:
- with the right cables, we can boost the quality of the interconnect
- by choosing the right drive frequencies, we can realize a fast (~ 100ns) Raman-transition between the transmons
- together, this brings us to the ~1% inefficiency level, and one could actually start thinking about scaling in this way!
