Generation of cluster states with Josephson charge qubits

Abstract

A scheme for the generation of the cluster states based on the Josephson charge qubit is proposed. The two-qubit generating case is first introduced, and then generalized to multi-qubit case. The scheme is simple and easily manipulated, because any two charge qubits can be selectively and effectively coupled by a common inductance. More manipulations can be realized before decoherence sets in. All the devices in the scheme are well within the current technology.
