Adiabatic quantum computation with Cooper pairs

Quantum Physics 2009-10-30 v1 Condensed Matter

Abstract

We propose a new variant of the controlled-NOT quantum logic gate based on adiabatic level-crossing dynamics of the q-bits. The gate has a natural implementation in terms of the Cooper pair transport in arrays of small Josephson tunnel junctions. An important advantage of the adiabatic approach is that the gate dynamics is insensitive to the unavoidable spread of junction parameters.
