Abstract

In this paper we study the role of parasitic interactions and microwave crosstalk in a system of two superconducting artificial atoms interacting via a single-mode coplanar waveguide. Through a general description of the effective dynamics of the atoms, beyond the two-level approximation, we show that the atom selectivity (ability to individually address an atom) is only dependent on the resultant phasor associated to the drives used to control the system. We then exploit the benefits of such a drive-dependent selectivity to describe how the coherent population inversion occurs in the atoms simultaneously, with no interference of residual atom-atom interaction. In this scenario the parasitic interaction works as a resource to fast and high fidelity control, as it gives rise to a new regime of frequencies for the atoms able to suppress effective atom-atom coupling (idling point). To end, we show how an entangling iSWAP gate is implemented with fidelity higher than 99%, even in the presence of parasitic interactions. More than that, we argue that the existence of this interaction can be helpful to speed up the gate performance. Our results open prospects to an outlook on the real role of such "undesired" effects in a system of superconducting artificial atoms. (AU)
