• Abstract summary: A quantum electrodynamics system transfers the state between the qubit and a short-lived cavity through microwave driving. We exploit the flux-tunability of fluxonium to enable an interaction between a non-computational qubit transition and the excitation cavity. We show that our scheme has a built-in benefit in simultaneously removing the second-excited state population of the qubit, and can be easily incorporated into a large-scale fluxonium processor.

• Abstract: Fast and high-fidelity qubit initialization is crucial for low-frequency qubits such as fluxonium, and in applications of many quantum algorithms and quantum error correction codes. In a circuit quantum electrodynamics system, the initialization is typically achieved by transferring the state between the qubit and a short-lived cavity through microwave driving, also known as the sideband cooling process in atomic system. Constrained by the selection rules from the parity symmetry of the wavefunctions, the sideband transitions are only enabled by multi-photon processes which requires multi-tone or strong driving. Leveraging the flux-tunability of fluxonium, we circumvent this limitation by breaking flux symmetry to enable an interaction between a non-computational qubit transition and the cavity excitation. With single-tone sideband driving, we realize qubit initialization with a fidelity exceeding 99% within a duration of 300 ns, robust against the variation of control parameters. Furthermore, we show that our initialization scheme has a built-in benefit in simultaneously removing the second-excited state population of the qubit, and can be easily incorporated into a large-scale fluxonium processor.

  We propose a tunable fluxonium-transmon-transmon (FTT) cou pling scheme. The asymmetric structure composed of fluxonium and transmon will optimize the frequency space and form a high fidelity two-qubit quantum gate. We study the performance of this scheme by simulating the general single-qubit Xpi/2 gate and two-qubit (iSWAP) gate.
