Abstract

We establish theoretical bounds on qubit detuning for some of the previously proposed controlled-NOT (CNOT) logic gate implementations with weakly coupled Josephson phase qubits. It is found that in the two-step, iSWAP-based case the value of the detuning during the entangling operations must not exceed 2g, where g is the characteristic coupling constant. In the single-step case we consider two practical, physically distinct implementations, in which one of the qubits is driven by a concurrent rf pulse of fixed frequency. We find that when the local drive is applied to the “reference” qubit (with which it is in resonance), the detuning should not exceed g. If the drive is applied to the “detuned” qubit, generation of the perfect CNOT gate is possible at any value of detuning provided that the amplitude of the pulse can be made arbitrarily large.
