    Abstract: A method includes forming a capacitor pad (304A, 304B) for a nonlinear resonator. The method includes comparing a resonance frequency of the nonlinear resonator to a target frequency to determine whether the resonance frequency falls within a range of the target frequency. A device includes a first capacitor pad comprising a superconducting material, the first capacitor pad configured to couple to a first end of a logic circuit element. The device includes a second capacitor pad comprising a second superconducting material, the capacitor pad configured to couple to a second end of the logic circuit element. The second capacitor pad includes a first portion (306A, 306B); a second portion (308A, 308B); and a bridge (310A, 310B) configured to electrically connect the first portion (306A, 306B) and the second portion (308A, 308B).

    Abstract: A coupling mechanism, method of activation and a square lattice. The coupling mechanism comprises two qubits (102,104) and a tunable coupling qubit (106) that activates an interaction between the two qubits (102,104) by modulation of a frequency of the tunable coupling qubit (106). The tunable coupling qubit (106) capacitively couples the two qubits (102,104). The tunable coupling qubit (106) is modulated at a difference frequency of the two qubits (102,104). The difference frequency may be significantly larger than an anharmonicity of the two qubits (102,104). The tunable coupling qubit (106) may be coupled to the two qubits (102,104) by two electrodes separated by a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) loop having two Josephson junctions or by a single electrode with a SQUID loop coupling to ground. The SQUID loop is controlled by an inductively-coupled flux bias line positioned at the center of the tunable coupling qubit.
