Fast entanglement of two charge-phase qubits through nonadiabatic coupling to a large Josephson junction

We propose a theoretical protocol for quantum logic gates between two Josephson junction charge-phase qubits through the control of their coupling to a large junction whose Josephson coupling energy is much larger than its Coulomb charge energy. In the low excitation limit of the large junction, it behaves effectively as a quantum data-bus mode of a harmonic oscillator. Our protocol can be fast since it does not require the data-bus to stay adiabatically in its ground state, as such it can be implemented over a wide parameter regime independent of the data-bus quantum state.
