Abstract

A method for reading out the state of a mesoscopic phase device. In the method the mesoscopic phase device is coherently coupled to a mesoscopic charge device using a phase shift device and the quantum state of the mesoscopic charge device is measured. A method for reading out the quantum state of a qubit in a heterogeneous quantum register. The heterogeneous quantum register includes a first plurality of phase qubits and a second plurality of charge qubits. In the method a first phase qubit or a first charge qubit in the heterogeneous quantum register is selected. The first phase qubit or the first charge qubit is coherently connected to a mesoscopic charge device for a duration tc. The quantum state of the mesoscopic charge device is read out after the duration tc has elapsed.
