| 概 要 |
We report the experimental realization of a hybrid quantum circuit combining a superconducting qubit and an ensemble of electronic spins.
The qubit, of the transmon type, is coherently coupled to the spin ensemble consisting of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in a diamond crystal via a frequency-tunable superconducting resonator acting as a quantum bus[1,2].
Using this circuit, we prepare arbitrary superpositions of the qubit states that we store into collective excitations of the spin ensemble and retrieve back later on into the qubit[3]. These results constitute a first proof of concept of spin-ensemble based quantum memory for superconducting qubits.
We also discuss a new type of electron spin resonance technique using this hybrid quantum circuit.
