Abstract

A tunable coupler circuit is provided that includes a coupling superconductor quantum interference device (SQUID) having a first end configured to be coupled to a first resonator device and a second end configured to be coupled to a second resonator device. A first shunt SQUID coupled between the first coupling node and ground, and a second shunt SQUID coupled between the second coupling node and ground, wherein the tunable coupler circuit is configured to switch between a coupled state by the setting of the coupling SQUID to a low impedance state while concurrently setting the first shunt SQUID and the second shunt SQUID to a high impedance state and a decoupled state by setting the coupling SQUID to a high impedance state to decouple the first resonator device and the second resonator device while concurrently setting the first shunt SQUID and the second shunt SQUID to a low impedance state.
