Capacitive and resonator-mediated gates

Qubits can couple without direct electron exchange.

01 / Mathematical framework
$$H_{ZZ}=\frac{\hbar\zeta}{4}\sigma_z^{(1)}\sigma_z^{(2)}$$

Physical intuition

Qubits can couple without direct electron exchange.

Deep dive: physical mechanism

Electric dipoles, capacitive interactions or shared resonators generate effective conditional shifts.

What is measured experimentally?

Conditional Ramsey experiments determine ZZ strength.

Assumptions, noise and limitations

Long-range coupling can amplify charge-noise exposure.

Research and simulation exercise

Simulate a controlled-phase evolution under ZZ coupling.
