Exploring IQM Deneb

This page is just to allow playing with an interactive of IQM Deneb. We recommend checking out the full module on IQM Deneb, here.

IQM Deneb is a 6-qubit processor with a star topology, where all qubits connected to a central element, the novel computational resonator. The qubits interact with the central resonator through two types operations: the qubit-resonator CZ, and the new MOVE operation that shuttles a single excitation between the qubit and resonator. Like a SWAP, the MOVE exchanges the $|01\rangle$ and $|10\rangle$ states, where the two bits denote a qubit-resonator pair. But unlike the SWAP, the MOVE is not defined when acting on the $|11\rangle$ state.

Use the applet below to learn more about the behaviour of MOVE.

The primary two-qubit operation used in the IQM Deneb system is the CZ gate, not the CNOT gate. The CNOT gate is used only for demonstration purposes.

Although the MOVE and CZ operations can be used with any qubit to resonator coupler, in this interactive example, we have restricted their use to just one coupler.
