Abstract

The laws of Physics constrain the task of information processing. The possibility to control matter and light in their quantum states opens up the possibility to investigate how the laws of quantum physics can alter the paradigm of computation and possibly lead to exponential increase in computational efficiency for certain problems. This project aims at furthering our understanding of one very promising architecture for quantum information processing, namely superconducting circuits composed of Josephson junctions and microwave oscillators. In particular we propose to investigate the possibilities to engineer quantum logic operations based on utilizing a geometric phase effect discovered in the early 80's. We also propose to explore possibilities to implement non-linear oscillators with superconducting circuits in a recently demonstrated regime of ultra-strong dispersive coupling between light and matter. Finally, as part of this project we plan to explore the coherence properties of molecular magnet systems coupled to the magnetic field of microwave resonators.
