Abstract

Determining the state of a qubit on a time scale much shorter than its relaxation time is an essential requirement for quantum information processing. With the aid of a nondegenerate parametric amplifier, we demonstrate the continuous detection of quantum jumps of a transmon qubit with 90% fidelity of state discrimination. Entirely fabricated by standard two-step optical-lithography techniques, this type of parametric amplifier consists of a dispersion-engineered Josephson-junction (JJ) array. By using long arrays, containing 103JJs, we can obtain amplification in multiple eigenmodes with frequencies below 10GHz, which is the typical range for qubit readout. Moreover, if a moderate flux tunability of each mode is introduced, employing superconducting-quantum-interference-device junctions, a single amplifier device could potentially cover the entire frequency band between 1 and 10 GHz.
