A　quantum　network　is　a　promising　quantum　many-body　system　because　of　its　tailored　geometry　and　controllable　interaction.　Here,　we　propose　an　external　control　scheme　for　the　qubit-photon　interaction　and　multiqubit　reset　in　a　dissipative　quantum　network,　which　comprises　superconducting　circuit　chains　with　microwave　drives　and　filter-filter　couplings.　The　traditional　multiqubit　reset　of　the　quantum　network　requires　physically　disconnected　qubits　to　prevent　their　entanglement.　However,　we　use　an　original　effect　of　dissipation,　i.e.,　consuming　the　entanglement　generated　by　qubits’　interaction,　to　achieve　an　external　control　of　the　multiqubit　reset　in　an　always-connected　superconducting　circuit.　The　reset　time　is　independent　of　the　number　of　qubits　in　the　quantum　network.　Our　proposal　can　tolerate　considerable　fluctuations　in　the　system　parameters　and　can　be　applicable　to　higher-dimensional　quantum　networks.　©　2021,　Science　China　Press　and　Springer-Verlag　GmbH　Germany,　part　of　Springer　Nature.
