(author), Vlothuizen, W.J. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Almudever, Carmen G. (author), DiCarlo, L. (author), Bertels, K.L.M. (author)This article proposes a quantum microarchitecture, QuMA. Flexible programmability of a quantum processor is achieved by multilevel instructions decoding, abstracting analog control into digital control, and translating instruction execution with non-deterministic timing into event trigger with precise timing. QuMA is validated by several...journal article 2018

(author)Quantum computers promise to solve certain problems that are intractable for classical computers, such as factoring large numbers and simulating quantum systems. To date, research in quantum computer engineering has focused primarily at opposite ends of the required system stack: devising high-level programming languages and compilers to...conference paper 2017

(author), Bruno, A. (author), Deurloo, D. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Wilhelm, FK (author), DiCarlo, L. (author)We present a tuneup protocol for qubit gates with tenfold speedup over traditional methods reliant on qubit initialization by energy relaxation. This speedup is achieved by constructing a cost function for Nelder-Mead optimization from real-time correlation of nondemolition measurements interleaving gate operations without pause. Applying the...journal article 2017

(author), Schouten, R.N. (author), DiCarlo, L. (author)We present two pulse schemes to actively deplete measurement photons from a readout resonator in the nonlinear dispersive regime of circuit QED. One method uses digital feedback conditioned on the measurement outcome, while the other is unconditional. In the absence of analytic forms and symmetries to exploit in this nonlinear regime, the...journal article 2016

(author)We demonstrate the active suppression of transmon qubit dephasing induced by dispersive measurement, using parametric amplification and analog feedback. By real-time processing of the homodyne record, the feedback controller reverts the stochastic quantum phase kick imparted by the measurement on the qubit. The feedback operation matches a model...journal article 2014

Riste, D. (author), Bultink, C.C. (author), Tiggelman, M.J. (author), Schouten, R.N. (author), Lehnert, K.W. (author), DiCarlo, L. (author)The tunnelling of quasiparticles across Josephson junctions in superconducting quantum circuits is an intrinsic decoherence mechanism for qubit degrees of freedom. Understanding the limits imposed by quasiparticle tunnelling on qubit relaxation and dephasing is of theoretical and experimental interest, particularly as improved understanding of...journal article 2013
