Abstract

A central task towards building a practical quantum computer is to protect individual qubits from decoherence while retaining the ability to perform high-fidelity entangling gates involving arbitrary two qubits. Here we propose and demonstrate a dephasing-insensitive procedure for storing and processing quantum information in an all-to-all connected superconducting circuit involving multiple frequency-tunable qubits, each of which can be controllably coupled to any other through a central bus resonator. Although it is generally believed that the extra frequency tunability enhances the control freedom but induces more dephasing impact for superconducting qubits, our results show that any individual qubit can be dynamically decoupled from dephasing noise by applying a weak continuous and resonant driving field whose phase is reversed in the middle of the pulse. More importantly, we demonstrate a new method for realizing a two-qubit phase gate with inherent dynamical decoupling via the combination of continuous driving and qubit-qubit swapping coupling. We find that the weak continuous driving fields not only enable the conditional dynamics essential for quantum information processing, but also protect both qubits from dephasing during the gate operation.

Dynamical Decoupling and Dephasing in Interacting Two-Level Systems

Simon Gustavsson, Fei Yan, Jonas Bylander +4 more

We implement dynamical decoupling techniques to mitigate noise and enhance the lifetime of an entangled state that is formed in a superconducting flux qubit coupled to a microscopic two-level system. By rapidly changing the qubit's transition frequency relative to the two-level system, we realize a refocusing pulse that reduces dephasing due to fluctuations in the transition frequencies, thereby improving the coherence time of the entangled state. The coupling coherence is further enhanced when applying multiple refocusing pulses, in agreement with our 1/f noise model. The results are applicable to any two-qubit system with transverse coupling and they highlight the potential of decoupling techniques for improving two-qubit gate fidelities, an essential prerequisite for implementing fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Decoherence suppression combining quantum uncollapsing and dynamical decoupling

Kai Xu, Xiayu Linpeng, Z. L. Wang

We demonstrate a protocol, that combines quantum uncollapsing and dynamical decoupling, to protect the quantum state stored in a qubit against decoherence errors. The protocol can simultaneously suppress the two kinds of decoherence processes: the energy relaxation and the low-frequency noise induced dephasing. We present the analytical derivation and numerical simulations in detail. We also provide a preliminary experimental test in superconducting phase qubits, using the process fidelity to calibrate the performance of the protocol. Our results suggest that the protocol can be effective against errors due to both energy relaxation and the low-frequency dephasing noise, except at a reduced probability of success.

Protecting Conditional Quantum Gates by Robust Dynamical Decoupling

Ch. Piltz, Burkhard Scharfenberger, A. Khromova +2 more

Dephasing--phase randomization of a quantum superposition state--is a major obstacle for the realization of high fidelity quantum logic operations. Here, we implement a two-qubit controlled-NOT gate using dynamical decoupling (DD), despite the gate time being more than 1 order of magnitude longer than the intrinsic coherence time of the system. For realizing this universal conditional quantum gate, we have devised a concatenated DD sequence that ensures robustness against imperfections of DD pulses that otherwise may destroy quantum information or interfere with gate dynamics. We compare its performance with three other types of DD sequences. These experiments are carried out using a well-controlled prototype quantum system--trapped atomic ions coupled by an effective spin-spin interaction. The scheme for protecting conditional quantum gates demonstrated here is applicable to other physical systems, such as nitrogen vacancy centers, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, and circuit quantum electrodynamics.

Multilevel dynamical decoupling for a coupled superconducting two-qubit system

Wenqu Xu, Tianshi Zhou, Kaixuan Zhang +20 more

Recent advances have significantly enhanced the coherence times of superconducting qubits. However, high-fidelity storage of multiqubit quantum states in large-scale circuits is still limited by factors such as the flux noise and crosstalk. We propose an X-iSwap decoupling sequence combining single-qubit ${X}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}$ gates and two-qubit iSwap gates to effectively mitigate dephasing from the low-frequency flux noise and eliminate crosstalk between qubits. Numerical simulations of noisy random evolution show excellent agreement with the theoretical models. In quantum memory applications, our method substantially extends the decay time of two-qubit fidelity and eliminates fidelity oscillations caused by the ZZ crosstalk. Compared to the traditional decoupling methods based on single-qubit gates, the X-iSwap sequence exhibits superior robustness against small system errors, which holds promise for widespread application in two-qubit systems and large-scale quantum processors for tasks such as long-term quantum memory and entanglement protection.

Suppressing Coherent Two-Qubit Errors via Dynamical Decoupling

Jiawei Qiu, Yuxuan Zhou, Chang-Kang Hu +21 more

Scalable quantum information processing requires the ability to tune multiqubit interactions. This makes the precise manipulation of quantum states particularly difficult for multiqubit interactions because tunability unavoidably introduces sensitivity to fluctuations in the tuning parameters, leading to erroneous multiqubit gate operations. The performance of quantum algorithms may be severely compromised by coherent multiqubit errors. It is therefore imperative to understand how these fluctuations affect multiqubit interactions and, more importantly, to mitigate their influence. In this study, we demonstrate how to implement dynamical-decoupling techniques to suppress the two-qubit analogue of the dephasing on a superconducting quantum device featuring a compact tunable coupler, a trending technology that enables the fast manipulation of qubit-qubit interactions. The pure-dephasing time shows up to an approximate 14 times enhancement on average when using robust sequences. The results are in good agreement with the noise generated from room-temperature circuits. Our study further reveals the decohering processes associated with tunable couplers and establishes a framework to develop gates and sequences robust against two-qubit errors.

Tunable Coupler for Realizing a Controlled-Phase Gate with Dynamically Decoupled Regime in a Superconducting Circuit

X. Li, T. Cai, H. Yan +13 more

Controllable interaction between superconducting qubits is desirable for large-scale quantum computation and simulation. Here, based on a theoretical proposal by Yan et al. [Phys. Rev. Appl. 10, 054061 (2018)] we experimentally demonstrate a simply designed and flux-controlled tunable coupler with a continuous tunability by adjusting the coupler frequency, which can completely turn off adjacent superconducting qubit coupling. Utilizing the tunable interaction between two qubits via the coupler, we implement a different type of controlled-phase (cz) gate with ``dynamically decoupled regime,'' which allows the qubit-qubit coupling to be only ``on'' at the usual operating point while dynamically ``off'' during the tuning process of one qubit frequency into and out of the operating point. This scheme not only efficiently suppresses the leakage out of the computational subspace, but also allows for the acquired two-qubit phase being geometric at the operating point. We achieve an average cz gate fidelity of $98.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6\mathrm{%}$, which is dominantly limited by qubit decoherence. The demonstrated tunable coupler provides a desirable tool to suppress adjacent qubit coupling and is suitable for large-scale quantum computation and simulation.
