Simultaneous calibration of rotation and phase errors in a single experiment

In weakly anharmonic qubits, coherent control errors take two generic forms -- over/under-rotation and phase errors -- whose suppression normally requires iterated experiments. We show that, for any symmetric $π/2$ pulse in the weak-driving regime, both follow from a single parametrization, $\mathcal{X}(π/2)=Z(δ)X(π/2+ε)Z(δ)$, that ties the rotation error $ε$ and the phase error $δ$ directly to the system parameters. The parametrization enables DRAPE, a Ramsey-type protocol in which sweeping the phase-error correction reveals a crossing point that fixes both corrections at once. The phase correction is estimated with Heisenberg scaling while the rotation error saturates the standard quantum limit. We experimentally demonstrate DRAPE by calibrating a $π/2$ gate on the $|1\rangle\leftrightarrow |2\rangle$ transition of an IBM transmon, reducing the over-rotation from $0.997^\circ$ to $-0.007^\circ$ and the phase error from $2.52^\circ$ to $0.0052^\circ$ per gate, validated independently by phase- and rotation-error amplification protocols.

Simulating neutrino oscillations on a superconducting qutrit

Precise measurements of parameters in the PMNS framework might lead to new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, they are incredibly challenging to determine in neutrino oscillation experiments. Quantum simulations can be a powerful supplementary tool to study these phenomenologies. In today's noisy quantum hardware, encoding neutrinos in a multi-qubit system requires a redundant basis and tricky entangling gates. We encode a three-flavor neutrino in a superconducting qutrit and study its oscillations using PMNS theory with time evolution expressed in terms of single qutrit gates. The qutrit is engineered from the multi-level structure of IBM transmon devices. High-fidelity gate control and readout are fine-tuned using programming microwave pulses using a high-level language. Our quantum simulations on real hardware match well to analytical calculations in three oscillation cases: vacuum, interaction with matter, and CP-violation.
