Universal Hamiltonian control in a planar trimon circuit

Multimode circuits provide an avenue for flexible control of single and multi-qubit gates. In this work we implement a multimode circuit known as a trimon integrated in a planar geometry. The trimon features three transmon-like modes with strong all-to-all $ZZ$ coupling. We demonstrate high fidelity operations on the trimon, achieving flexible control of its rich state space. This includes qubit rotations conditioned on one or both other qubits, unconditional single-qubit rotations, and both excitation-conserving and double-excitation two-qubit entangling gates. Through multi-tone driving we are able to implement all 16 two-qubit Pauli operators in the two-qubit space. We further demonstrate using the trimon as a qudit with up to 8 states and higher coherence than typical transmon-based implementations. Our results show a compact, highly controllable device that can potentially replace transmons in standard superconducting processor architectures.

Dimensionality reduction for closed-loop quantum gate calibration

Numerical gate design typically makes use of high-dimensional parameterizations enabling sophisticated, highly expressive control pulses. Developing efficient experimental calibration methods for such gates is a long-standing challenge in quantum control, as on-device calibration requires the optimization of noisy experimental data over high-dimensional parameter spaces. To improve the efficiency of calibrations, we present a systematic method based on SVD stacking for reducing the dimensionality of the parameter space traversed in gate calibration, starting from an arbitrary high-dimensional pulse representation. We use this approach to design and calibrate an $X_{\pi/2}$ gate robust against amplitude and detuning errors, as well as an $X_{\pi/2}$ gate robust against coherent errors due to a spectator qubit.

SQuADDS: A validated design database and simulation workflow for superconducting qubit design

We present an open-source database of superconducting quantum device designs that may be used as the starting point for customized devices. Each design can be generated programmatically using the open-source Qiskit Metal package, and simulated using finite-element electromagnetic solvers. We present a robust workflow for achieving high accuracy on design simulations. Many designs in the database are experimentally validated, showing excellent agreement between simulated and measured parameters. Our database includes a front-end interface that allows users to generate ``best-guess'' designs based on desired circuit parameters. This project lowers the barrier to entry for research groups seeking to make a new class of devices by providing them a well-characterized starting point from which to refine their designs.

On-demand driven dissipation for cavity reset and cooling

We present a superconducting circuit device that provides active, on-demand, tunable dissipation on a target mode of the electromagnetic field. Our device is based on a tunable "dissipator" that can be made lossy when tuned into resonance with a broadband filter mode. When driven parametrically, this dissipator induces loss on any mode coupled to it with energy detuning equal to the drive frequency. We demonstrate the use of this device to reset a superconducting qubit's readout cavity after a measurement, removing photons with a characteristic rate above $50\ μ\mathrm{s}^{-1}$. We also demonstrate that the dissipation can be driven constantly to simultaneously damp and cool the cavity, effectively eliminating thermal photon fluctuations as a relevant decoherence channel. Our results demonstrate the utility of our device as a modular tool for environmental engineering and entropy removal in circuit QED.

Master Equation Emulation and Coherence Preservation with Classical Control of a Superconducting Qubit

Open quantum systems are a topic of intense theoretical research. The use of master equations to model a system's evolution subject to an interaction with an external environment is one of the most successful theoretical paradigms. General experimental tools to study different open system realizations have been limited, and so it is highly desirable to develop experimental tools which emulate diverse master equation dynamics and give a way to test open systems theories. In this paper we demonstrate a systematic method for engineering specific system-environment interactions and emulating master equations of a particular form using classical stochastic noise. We also demonstrate that non-Markovian noise can be used as a resource to extend the coherence of a quantum system and counteract the adversarial effects of Markovian environments.
