One-step implementation of a multiqubit controlled-phase gate with superconducting quantum interference devices coupled to a resonator

A scheme for one-step implementation of an n-qubit controlled-phase gate is proposed in a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) system. The distinguishing feature of this scheme is the simultaneous and nonidentical off-resonant Raman coupling of the n SQUID qubits to a single-mode resonator and the microwave pulses. The scheme is efficient and simple because it requires only one-step evolution, and no adjustments of the experimental parameters are needed during the operation. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
