This is done by off-resonantly coupling the two qubits to a low-Q cavity mode playing the role of a dissipative reservoir. We engineer this coupling by applying six continuous-wave microwave drives with appropriate frequencies. The two qubits need not be identical. We show that our approach does not require any fine-tuning of the parameters and requires only that certain ratios between them be large. With currently achievable coherence times, simulations indicate that a Bell state can be maintained over arbitrary long times with fidelities above 94%. Such performance leads to a significant violation of Bell's inequality (CHSH correlation larger than 2.6) for arbitrary long times.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-15T16:15:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42.50.Dv", "03.65.Yz", "42.50.Pq", "85.25.-j" ], "keywords": [ "bell state", "superconducting qubits", "arbitrary long times", "chsh correlation larger", "continuous-wave microwave drives" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2013, "month": "Aug", "volume": 88, "number": 2, "pages": "023849" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvA..88b3849L" } } }
