Abstract
After a brief review on superconducting qubits, we overview our recent studies on controllable couplings in superconducting flux qubits via a variable frequency (ac) magnetic flux. In particular: (i) we describe how to use a variable frequency magnetic flux to control the coupling between two inductively coupled flux qubits, (ii) Based on this approach, using a variable frequency controlled coupling, we present a proposal on how to achieve scalable quantum computing circuits with flux qubits. We also explain why superconducting qubits can be coupled and addressed as trapped ions, as well as describe how to utilize dressed states to couple and decouple qubits and the data bus.
