Dissipation engineering is a powerful framework for quantum state preparation and autonomous error correction in few-qubit systems. In this work, we examine the scalability of this approach and give three criteria which any dissipative state stabilization protocol should satisfy to be truly scalable as the number of qubits grows. Besides the requirement that it can be constructed in a resource-efficient manner from simple-to-engineer building blocks, a scalable protocol must also exhibit favorable scaling of the stabilization time with the increase in system size. We present a family of protocols which employ fixed-depth qubit-qubit interactions alongside engineered linear dissipation to stabilize an N -qubit W state. We find that a modular approach to dissipation engineering, with several overlapping few-qubit dissipators rather than a single N -qubit dissipator, is essential for our protocol to be scalable. With this approach, as the number of qubits increases our protocol exhibits low-degree polynomial scaling of the stabilization time and linear growth of the number of control drives in the best case. While the proposed protocol is most easily accessible with current state-of-the-art circuit-QED architectures, the modular dissipation engineering approach presented here can be readily adapted to other platforms and for stabilization of other interesting quantum states.
We present a systematic method to implement a perturbative Hamiltonian diagonalization based on the time-dependent Schrieffer-Wolff transformation. Applying our method to strong parametric interactions we show how, even in the dispersive regime, full Rabi model physics is essential to describe the dressed spectrum. Our results unveil several qualitatively new results including realization of large energy-level shifts, tunable in magnitude and sign with the frequency and amplitude of the pump mediating the parametric interaction. Crucially Bloch-Siegert shifts, typically thought to be important only in the ultra-strong or deep-strong coupling regimes, can be rendered large even for weak dispersive interactions to realize points of exact cancellation of dressed shifts ('blind spots') at specific pump frequencies. The framework developed here highlights the rich physics accessible with time-dependent interactions and serves to significantly expand the functionalities for control and readout of strongly-interacting quantum systems.
