QUANTUM HARDWARE CHARACTERIZED BY PROGRAMMABLE BOSE-HUBBARD HAMILTONIANS

摘要

An apparatus includes a first group of superconducting cavities and a second group of superconducting cavities, each of which is configured to receive multiple photons. The apparatus includes couplers, where each coupler couples one superconducting cavity from the first group with one cavity from the second group such that the photons in the coupled superconducting cavities interact. A first superconducting cavity of the first group is connected to a second superconducting cavity of the second group, such that photons of the first and second superconducting cavities are shared by each of the first and second superconducting cavities. The first superconducting cavity is coupled to at least one other superconducting cavity of the first group to which the second superconducting cavities are coupled, and the second superconducting cavity is coupled to at least one other superconducting cavity of the second group to which the first superconducting cavities are coupled.
