Title: Realizing quantum random access memories with microwave photons

Abstract: Quantum memories are essential building blocks for quantum computing, providing the means for scalable and efficient quantum information storage and retrieval. First, we explore a Random Access Quantum Memory utilizing superconducting cavities, which allows a single qubit to act as a processor of one quantum byte of memory. This system allows highly modular operation with high fidelity, and allows flexible encoding of quantum information. Interestingly, the primary decoherence mechanism is many-body interaction rather than individual decoherence. In the second part I will present a quantum-addressable router (Q²-router), a novel device that handles both data and addresses in quantum superpositions. Together, these systems represent significant advances towards scalable quantum architectures, providing new possibilities for quantum computation, quantum networking, and quantum algorithms.
