Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for flux control of a qubit. A quantum system includes a microwave transmitter configured to provide a continuous microwave tone, and a qubit configured such that transition energy of the qubit between a ground state of the qubit and a first excited state of the qubit is tunable via an applied flux. The qubit also has an inductive element responsive to the continuous microwave tone to produce a Rabi oscillation within the qubit. A flux source is configured to apply a flux to the qubit to selectively tune the transition energy of the qubit, such that the transition energy of the qubit can be tuned to a frequency of the Rabi oscillation or detuned from the Rabi oscillation.
