Table 11.3: Sequence Parameters – Capacitive State Preparation<br />

Name Description Comments<br />

Φ A Qubit A flux bias Places qubit far from TLS’s<br />

Φ B Qubit B flux bias Places qubits on resonance<br />

t π Length <strong>of</strong> π-pulse Much less than t √ i−Swap<br />

A π Amplitude <strong>of</strong> π-pulse Sufficiently small to avoid | 2 〉-state errors<br />

f π Frequency <strong>of</strong> π-pulse Corrects for AC stark shift<br />

→ function <strong>of</strong> A π<br />

φ π Phase <strong>of</strong> π-pulse Shouldn’t matter<br />

t √ i−Swap Swap time Can be absorbed into rotation pulse delay<br />

ates S as a function <strong>of</strong> all free parameters. Since it is not possible to measure the<br />

derivative <strong>of</strong> S, the optimization is limited to “Direct Search” methods that do not<br />

rely on the knowledge <strong>of</strong> such derivatives. The algorithms to be used need to further<br />

be evaluated with respect to their tolerance for noisy data. Three algorithms<br />

seem to be good candidates for this optimization: Manual search, Nelder-Mead<br />

Simplex Optimization [Nelder and Mead, 1965], and Particle Swarm Optimization<br />

[Eberhart and Kennedy, 1995].<br />

11.3.2 Manual Search<br />

Manual search, as the name suggests, involves the experimenter probing the<br />

oracle manually in order to gain an understanding <strong>of</strong> the behavior <strong>of</strong> S to eventu-<br />
