29. A similar approach for flux qubits was proposed in J. Q. You, Y. Nakamura, and F. Nori, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.71.024532 71, 024532 (2005).

36. Performing two-qubit gates on superconducting qubits by driving the qubits at the sum or difference of their characteristic frequencies was first proposed in Y.-X. Liu, L.-F. Wei, J. S. Tsai, and F. Nori, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.067003 96, 067003 (2006).

50. For coupling proposals that rely on the relation J< Δ1 - Δ2 in order to achieve effective decoupling, see, e.g., C. Rigetti, A. Blais, and M. Devoret, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.94. 240502 94, 240502 (2005);

54. For example, there has been a recent proposal to use the high-frequency electrons as mediators for performing gates on nuclear spins in NMR quantum computing; J. S. Hodges, J. C. Yang, C. Ramanathan, and D. G. Cory, arXiv:0707.2956 (unpublished).
