TransmonCavityInteraction

The Boulder Opal Toolkits are currently in beta phase of development. Breaking changes may be introduced.

class TransmonCavityInteraction(dispersive_shift=None, rabi_coupling=None, transmon_name='transmon', cavity_name='cavity')

Class that stores all the physical system data for the interaction between a transmon and a cavity.

Parameters:

  • dispersive_shift (real or np.ndarray or RealOptimizableSignal or RealOptimizableConstant, optional) – The dispersive shift between the transmon and the cavity, \(\chi\). You must provide either a dispersive shift or a Rabi coupling.

  • rabi_coupling (real or complex or np.ndarray or RealOptimizableSignal or RealOptimizableConstant or ComplexOptimizableSignal or ComplexOptimizableConstant, optional) – The strength of the Rabi coupling between the transmon and the cavity, \(\Omega\). You must provide either a dispersive shift or a Rabi coupling.

  • transmon_name (str, optional) – The name identifying the transmon in the interaction. Defaults to “transmon”.

  • cavity_name (str, optional) – The name identifying the cavity in the interaction. Defaults to “cavity”.

Notes

The Hamiltonian for the interaction is defined as

\[H_\mathrm{transmon-cavity} = \chi a^\dagger a b^\dagger b ,\]

or as

\[H_\mathrm{transmon-cavity} = \Omega a b^\dagger + H.c. ,\]

where \(H.c.\) indicates the Hermitian conjugate.
