Fast flux control of 3D transmon qubits using a magnetic hose

Fast magnetic flux control is a crucial ingredient for circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) systems. So far it has been a challenge to implement this technology with the high coherence 3D cQED architecture. In this paper we control the magnetic field inside a superconducting waveguide cavity using a magnetic hose, which allows fast flux control of 3D transmon qubits on time scales < 100 ns. The hose is designed as an effective microwave filter to not compromise the energy relaxation time of the qubit. The magnetic hose is a promising tool for fast magnetic flux control in various platforms intended for quantum information processing and quantum optics.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, including supplementary materia
