Time-Dependent Simulation of Superconducting Quantum Circuits in the Presence of Non-Markovian Noise

ORAL

Abstract

Understanding the practical impact of realistic noise on the performance of superconducting quantum circuits is vital to evaluating their prospects for potential applications and system architectures. This understanding is particularly limited at present for the more complex circuits involved in quantum annealing and reversible logic, which are subject to both damping and non-Markovian 1/f flux noise. In this presentation, we discuss a quantum trajectory-based dynamics simulation method for such circuits, and present progress towards its use in evaluating residual power dissipation in reversible logic circuits.
