Abstract
We demonstrate a high-efficiency deterministic quantum receiver to convert flying qubits to stationary qubits. We employ a superconducting resonator, which is driven with a shaped pulse through an adjustable coupler. For the ideal "time-reversed" shape, we measure absorption and receiver fidelities at the single microwave photon level of, respectively, 99.41% and 97.4%. These fidelities are comparable with gates and measurement and exceed the deterministic quantum communication and computation fault-tolerant thresholds, enabling new designs of deterministic qubit interconnects and hybrid quantum computers. © 2014 American Physical Society.
