Fluxonium two-qubit gate with simultaneous Raman transitions

ORAL

Abstract

Quantum computing applications rely on high-coherence qubits with two-qubit gates to control them. The Fluxonium circuit is a superconducting qubit with favorable coherence properties, but unlike the transmon qubit, there has been no experimental demonstration of a two-qubit gate. We propose a new scheme using a cavity to couple two fluxonium qubits and drive a two-qubit swap gate. We report experimental progress towards driving simultaneous Raman transitions in the two qubits, utilizing the coupling cavity and the lambda energy level structure of fluxonium. This work expands the available coherent controls for the fluxonium circuit and increases its viability for quantum computing as well for interesting quantum simulation applications.
