Abstract

We show how to generate Bell states and N-partite W states of long-distance superconducting (SC) qubits in a SC waveguide QED system, where SC qubits are coupled to an open microwave transmission line. In the two-qubit case, the Bell state of two long-distance qubits can be a dark state of the system by choosing appropriate system parameters. If one proper microwave pulse drives one of two qubits, the two qubits will evolve from their ground states to a Bell state. Further, we extend this scheme to the multiqubit case. We show that W states of N long-distance qubits can also be generated. Because both the Bell and W states are decoupled from the waveguide (i.e., dark states of the system), they are steady and have very long lifetimes in the ideal case without decoherence of qubits. In contrast to the ideal case, the presence of decoherence of qubits limits the lifetimes of the Bell and W states. Our study provides an alternative scheme for generating Bell states and N-partite W states in SC waveguide QED, which can be used to entangle long-distance nodes in waveguide quantum networks.
