Abstract
In this paper, we present an experimentally feasible protocol to generate the cat states in the microwave resonator coupled to a superconducting qubit. The setup employs a detuned, time-dependent parametric drive to squeeze the resonator mode so that an adjustable qubit-resonator coupling strength can be obtained. Therefore, based on the transitionless tracking algorithm, we can design control pulses to generate the qubit-resonator entangled states with high fidelity in the laboratory frame. Then, the even and odd cat states can be further obtained by performing measurement on the superconducting qubit. Compared to the scheme [Chen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 023602 (2021)], the present protocol is realized in the regime of weak parametric drive. In the case, squeezing-induced noise can be reduced so that the fidelity of the generated state can be improved. Numerical simulations indicate that the present protocol is well executed under experimentally available parameters. Thus, the protocol is feasible with the present state of the art in microwave superconducting circuits.
