Here, we present a readout scheme employing a single microwave line, which enables simultaneous readout of multiple qubits. Consequently, scaling up superconducting qubit circuits is no longer limited by the readout apparatus. Parallel readout of 6 flux qubits using a frequency division multiplexing technique is demonstrated, as well as simultaneous manipulation and time resolved measurement of 3 qubits. We discuss how this technique can be scaled up to read out hundreds of qubits on a chip.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-07-12T13:41:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.Lx", "85.25.Am" ], "keywords": [ "frequency division multiplexing readout", "flux qubits", "simultaneous manipulation", "readout scheme", "single microwave line" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Applied Physics Letters", "year": 2012, "month": "Jul", "volume": 101, "number": 4, "pages": "042604" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012ApPhL.101d2604J" } } }
