Optimally Band-Limited Noise Filtering for Single-Qubit Gates

Yasuo Oda, Dennis G. Lucarelli, Kevin Schultz +2 more

We introduce a quantum control protocol that produces smooth, experimentally implementable control sequences optimized to combat temporally correlated noise for single-qubit systems. The control ansatz is specifically chosen to be a functional expansion of discrete prolate spheroidal sequences, a discrete time basis known to be optimally concentrated in time and frequency, and quite attractive when faced with experimental control hardware constraints. We leverage the filter function formalism to transform the control problem into a filter design problem, and show that the frequency response of a quantum system can be carefully tailored to avoid the most relevant dynamical contributions of noise processes. Using gradient ascent, we obtain optimized filter functions and exploit them to elucidate important details about the relationship between filter function design, control bandwidth, and noise characteristics. In particular, we identify regimes of optimal noise suppression and, in turn, optimal control bandwidth directly proportional to the size of the frequency bands where the noise power is large. In addition to providing guiding principles for filter design, our approach enables the development of controls that simultaneously yield robust noise filtering and high-fidelity single-qubit logic operations in a wide variety of complex noise environments.

Enhanced quantum signal control and sensing under multicolored noise via generalized filter function framework

Zhi-Da Zhang, Song Yao, Wen-Zheng Dong +1 more

Abstract The field of quantum control and sensing encounters challenges due to various forms of time-dependent noise. We introduce a generalized filter-function framework that treats noise coupling strength as a tunable control parameter, enabling target noise suppression across user-defined frequency bands. By optimizing this generalized filter function, we design band-selective control pulses that achieve high fidelity of single- and two-qubit gates under strong noise with diverse spectral profiles. We further extend the method to selectively enhance the signal-to-noise ratio for quantum sensing of AC signals with an enhanced precision of up to 12.58 dB. The resulting control pulses are experimentally feasible, offering a practical pathway toward robust quantum operations and high-precision sensing under spectrally complex noises.
