Abstract

Since the superconducting quantum circuit (SQC) system acts as a good platform for quantum computing, quantum entanglement operation on the photonic system and the SQC become an important task to realize the quantum network and the distributed quantum computing. In this paper, we propose local resonant schemes to generate the Bell state entanglement and construct the controlled phase gate on an optical cavity and a superconducting transmon qutrit in a hybrid system composed of an optical cavity, a transmon qutrit, and a microwave resonator (embedded by an electro-optic material). As one of the fast quantum operations on two quantum systems, resonant operations let the fidelities of schemes reach high values within a short time.
