contents Quantum random access memory (QRAM) is a common architecture resource for algorithms with many proposed applications, including quantum chemistry, windowed quantum arithmetic, unstructured search, machine learning, and quantum cryptography. Here we propose two bucket-brigade QRAM architectures based on high-coherence superconducting resonators, which differ in their realizations of the conditional-routing operations. In the first, we directly construct controlled-$\mathsf{SWAP}$ ($\textsf{CSWAP}$) operations, while in the second we utilize the properties of giant-unidirectional emitters (GUEs). For both architectures we analyze single-rail and dual-rail implementations of a bosonic qubit. In the single-rail encoding we can detect first-order ancilla errors, while the dual-rail encoding additionally allows for the detection of photon losses. For parameter regimes of interest the post-selected infidelity of a QRAM query in a dual-rail architecture is nearly an order of magnitude below that of a corresponding query in a single-rail architecture. These findings suggest that dual-rail encodings are particularly attractive as architectures for QRAM devices in the era before fault tolerance.
