Quantum memory in an effective Λ-type system using dynamic detuning control of a superconducting qubit pair
Abstract
We theoretically investigate quantum-light storage in an effective Λ-type system formed by a pair of tunable superconducting qubits coupled to a semi-infinite transmission line and separated by half a wavelength. The frequency detuning between the qubits directly couples the superradiant excited state and the subradiant metastable state. By adjusting the qubit detuning, the system exhibits a controllable spectral response accompanied by slow-light behavior. Dynamically controlling the detuning enables an incident quantum field to be mapped onto the subradiant collective state, stored as a long-lived excitation, and subsequently retrieved on demand. Our results establish the proposed system as a minimal and tunable quantum-memory architecture for scalable superconducting quantum networks.
