A superconducting readout system employing a microwave transmission line, and a microwave superconducting resonator communicatively coupled to the microwave transmission line, and including a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), may be advantageously calibrated at least in part by measuring a resonant frequency of the microwave superconducting resonator in response to a flux bias applied to the SQUID, measuring a sensitivity of the resonant frequency in response to the flux bias, and selecting an operating frequency and a sensitivity of the microwave superconducting resonator based at least in part on a variation of the resonant frequency as a function of the flux bias. The flux bias may be applied to the SQUID by an interface inductively coupled to the SQUID. Calibration of the superconducting readout system may also include determining at least one of a propagation delay, a microwave transmission line delay, and a microwave transmission line phase offset.

Systems and methods for operation of a frequency multiplexed resonator input and/or output for a superconducting device

Generate an automorphism of the problem graph, determine an embedding of the automorphism to the hardware graph and modify the embedding of the problem graph into the hardware graph to correspond to the embedding of the automorphism to the hardware graph. Determine an upper-bound on the required chain strength. Calibrate and record properties of the component of a quantum processor with a digital processor, query the digital processor for a range of properties. Generate a bit mask and change the sign of the bias of individual qubits according to the bit mask before submitting a problem to a quantum processor, apply the same bit mask to the bit result. Generate a second set of parameters of a quantum processor from a first set of parameters via a genetic algorithm.
