Abstract

We propose the generation of effective three-body interactions in superconducting circuits by coupling qubits or resonators to a bus qubit. Such interactions are characterized by energy exchange between two qubits or resonators depending on the state of the bus qubit. We show that a controlled-iswap (-iswap) gate can be naturally implemented based on the three-body interactions and it can be used to construct a quantum Fredkin (controlled-swap) gate. A generalized Fredkin gate which controls the swapping of photons between two resonators can be realized in a similar way. It can be used to generate the entangled state of a high number of photons. This proposal is promising to be demonstrated with superconducting circuits previously reported and will stimulate the implementation of multiqubit quantum gates based on many-body interactions.
