Fast and Robust Quantum Information Transfer in Annular and Radial Superconducting Networks

In this paper, we propose a protocol to achieve fast and robustness quantum information transfer (QIT) in annular and radial superconducting networks, where each quantum node is composed of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) inside a coplanar waveguide resonator (CPWR). The process is based on reversely constructing time-dependent control Hamiltonian by designing evolution operator. With the protocol, the maximal population of lossy intermediate states and the amplitudes of pulses can be easily controlled by two corresponding control parameters. Therefore, one can design feasible pulses for QIT with great flexibility. Besides, the speed of the QIT here is much faster compared with that with adiabatic QIT. Moreover, numerical simulations show that the protocol still possesses high fidelity when lossy factors and imperfect operations are taken into account. Therefore, the protocol may provide a useful way to manipulate quantum information networks.
