Error-mitigated Geometric Quantum Control over an Oscillator

Quantum information is very fragile to environmentally and operationally induced imperfections. Therefore, the construction of practical quantum computers requires quantum error-correction techniques to protect quantum information. In particular, encoding a logical qubit into the large Hilbert space of an oscillator is a hardware-efficient way of correcting quantum errors. In this strategy, selective number-dependent arbitrary phase (SNAP) gates are vital for universal quantum control. However, the quality of SNAP gates is considerably limited by the small coupling-induced nonlinearity of the oscillator. Here, to resolve this limitation, we propose a robust scheme based on quantum optimal control via functional theory, by designing an appropriate trajectory for a target operation. Besides, we combine the geometric phase approach with our trajectory design scheme to minimize the decoherence effect, by shortening the gate time. Numerical simulation shows that both errors can be significantly mitigated and that the robustness of the geometric gate against both $X$ and $Z$ errors can be maintained. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising alternative for fault-tolerant quantum computation.

Scalable protocol to mitigate $ZZ$ crosstalk in universal quantum gates

High-fidelity universal quantum gates are widely acknowledged as essential for scalable quantum computation. However, in solid-state quantum systems, which hold promise as physical implementation platforms for quantum computation, the inevitable $ZZ$ crosstalk resulting from interqubit interactions significantly impairs quantum operation performance. Here we propose a scalable protocol to achieve $ZZ$-crosstalk mitigation in universal quantum gates. This method converts the noisy Hamiltonian with $ZZ$ crosstalk into a framework that efficiently suppresses all $ZZ$-crosstalk effects, leading to ideal target quantum operations. Specifically, we first analytically derive the $ZZ$-crosstalk mitigation conditions and then apply them to enhance the performance of target universal quantum gates. Moreover, numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of $ZZ$-crosstalk mitigation when multiple qubit gates operate concurrently. As a result, our protocol presents a promising approach for implementing practical parallel quantum gates in large-scale quantum computation scenarios.

Time-optimal universal quantum gates on superconducting circuits

Decoherence is inevitable when manipulating quantum systems. It decreases the quality of quantum manipulations and thus is one of the main obstacles for large-scale quantum computation, where high-fidelity quantum gates are needed. Generally, the longer a gate operation is, the more decoherence-induced gate infidelity will be. Therefore, how to shorten the gate time becomes an urgent problem to be solved. To this end, time-optimal control based on solving the quantum brachistochrone equation is a straightforward solution. Here, based on time-optimal control, we propose a scheme to realize universal quantum gates on superconducting qubits in a two-dimensional square lattice configuration, and the two-qubit gate fidelity approaches 99.9\%. Meanwhile, we can further accelerate the Z-axis gate considerably by adjusting the detuning of the external driving. Finally, in order to reduce the influence of the dephasing error, decoherence-free subspace encoding is also incorporated in our physical implementation. Therefore, we present a fast quantum scheme which is promising for large-scale quantum computation.

Robust nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation by dynamical correction

Besides the intrinsic noise resilience property, nonadiabatic geometric phases are of the fast evolution nature, and thus can naturally be used in constructing quantum gates with excellent performance, i.e., the so-called nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC). However, previous single-loop NGQC schemes are sensitive to the operational control error, i.e., the $X$ error, due to the limitations of the implementation. Here, we propose a robust scheme for NGQC combining with the dynamical correction technique, which still uses only simplified pulses, and thus being experimental friendly. We numerically show that our scheme can greatly improve the gate robustness in previous protocols, retaining the intrinsic merit of geometric phases. Furthermore, to fight against the dephasing noise, due to the $Z$ error, we can incorporate the decoherence-free subspace encoding strategy. In this way, our scheme can be robust against both types of errors. Finally, we also propose how to implement the scheme with encoding on superconducting quantum circuits with experimentally demonstrated technology. Therefore, due to the intrinsic robustness, our scheme provides a promising alternation for the future scalable fault-tolerant quantum computation.
