Tunable refrigerator for superconducting quantum circuits — •Hao Hsu and Gianluigi Catelani — Forschungszentrum Jülich, Jülich, Germany
Fast initialization with high reset fidelity is a necessary criterion for realizing quantum computing. Recently, a “quantum circuit refrigerator” (QCR) was demonstrated which can cool superconducting resonators [1]. Here we extend the theory [2] to study a QCR coupled to generic superconducting circuits. We identify two working temperature regimes, depending on the QCR electron temperature TN: the thermal activation regime and the low-temperature regime. In the thermal activation regime, the effective temperature TT at which the circuit is cooled is proportional to TN, while TT is independent of TN in the low-temperature regime. In typical transmon and capacitively shunted flux qubits, we find that in both regimes, the effective temperature limits the reset fidelity. In the practically relevant low-temperature regime, we predict 99.99 % reset fidelity in a reset time of few tens of nanoseconds.
