Abstract

We present a scalable quantum-bus-based device for generating the entanglement on photons in distant superconducting resonators (SRs). The device is composed of some one-dimensional (1D) SRs \(r_j\) coupled to the quantum bus (another common resonator R) in its different positions assisted by superconducting quantum interferometer devices which are used to tune the coupling strengths between \(r_j\) and R. By using the technique for catching and releasing a photon state in a 1D SR, it can work as an entanglement generator or a node in quantum communication. To demonstrate the performance of this device, we propose a one-step scheme to generate high-fidelity Bell state on photons in two distant SRs. It works in the dispersive regime of \(r_j\) and R, which enables us to extend it to generate high-fidelity multi-Bell states on different resonator pairs simultaneously.
