Abstract
As the field of superconducting quantum computing advances, networking qubits within a single system becomes essential for building modular processors. Modularity allows the system to circumvent scalability constraints and enable architectures and computational schemes that exploit non-local connectivity to enhance processing capabilities. This work proposes non-local entanglement generation methods based on the theory of chiral quantum waveguide dynamics, which is the quantum-optical framework that describes systems of atoms coupled non-reciprocally to a continuum of modes. We leverage these effects to design a chiral communication module composed of multiple superconducting qubits, capable of both directional single photon routing and the realization of chiral, driven-dissipative entanglement protocols.
