Increasing the efficiency of quantum processors is possible by moving from two-level qubits to elements with a larger computational base. An example would be a transmon-based superconducting atom, but the new basic elements require new approaches to control. To solve the control problem, we propose the use of nonclassical fields in which the number of photons is equal to the number of levels in the computational basis. Using theoretical analysis, we have shown that(i) our approach makes it possible to efficiently populate on demand even relatively high energy levels of the qudit;
(ii) by changing the difference between the characteristic frequencies of the superconducting atom and a single field mode, we can choose which level to populate;
(iii) even the highest levels can be effectively populated in the sub-nanosecond time scale.
We also propose the quantum circuit design of a real superconducting scystem in which the predicted rapid control of the transmon-based qudit is demonstrated.
