Abstract

A measurement-based quantum feedback protocol is developed for spin-state initialization in a gate-defined double quantum dot spin qubit coupled to a superconducting cavity. The protocol improves qubit state initialization as it is able to robustly prepare the spin in shorter time and reach a higher fidelity, which can be preset. Being able to preset the fidelity aimed at is a highly desired feature enabling qubit initialization to be more deterministic. The protocol developed herein is also effective at high temperatures, which is critical for the current efforts toward scaling up the number of qubits in quantum computers.

Quantum Control of Hole Spin Qubits in Double Quantum Dots

David Fernández-Fernández, Yue Ban, Gloria Platero

Hole spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are promising candidates for quantum information processing due to their weak hyperfine coupling to nuclear spins, and to the strong spin-orbit coupling, which allows for rapid operation time. We propose a coherent control on two heavy-hole spin qubits in a double QD by a fast adiabatic driving protocol, which helps to achieve higher fidelities than other experimentally commonly used protocols as linear ramping, $\ensuremath{\pi}$ pulses or Landau-Zener passages. Using fast quasiadiabatic driving via spin-orbit coupling, it is possible to reduce charge noise significantly for qubit manipulation and achieve high robustness for the qubit initialization. We also implement one- and two-qubit gates, in particular, not, cnot, and swaplike gates, of hole spins in a double QD achieving fidelities above $99\mathrm{%}$, exhibiting the capability of hole spins to implement universal gates for quantum computing.

Fast high-fidelity parity measurement of spin qubits in quantum dots using modulated pulses

Xingyu Zhu, Tao Tu, Guang‐Can Guo +1 more

Spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots are a promising candidate for scalable quantum computation. A key step in quantum error correction with spin qubits is the capability to perform high-fidelity parity measurement much faster than the coherence time and to generate entanglement deterministically. Here we propose a parity measurement scheme for two spin qubits by modulated pulses, using a superconducting resonator as a detector. We show that the distinction between spin-parity states can be achieved with a high fidelity within a short measurement time. The combination of parity measurement and feedback control allows the deterministic preparation of various spin entangled states. In addition, the method can be directly applied to parity measurements and surface codes of multiple spin qubits. These results pave the way for fault-tolerant quantum computation with spin qubits.

Fast readout of quantum dot spin qubits via Andreev spins

Anonymous, Katharina Laubscher, Patrick Del Vecchio +3 more

Spin qubits in semiconducting quantum dots are currently limited by slow readout processes, which are orders of magnitude slower than gate operations. In contrast, Andreev spin qubits benefit from fast measurement schemes enabled by the large resonator couplings of superconducting qubits but suffer from reduced coherence during qubit operations. Here, we propose fast and high-fidelity measurement protocols based on an electrically tunable coupling between quantum dot and Andreev spin qubits. In realistic devices, this coupling can be made sufficiently strong to enable high-fidelity readout well below microseconds, potentially enabling mid-circuit measurements. Crucially, the electrical tunability of our coupler permits to switch it off during idle periods, minimizing crosstalk and measurement back-action. Our approach is fully compatible with germanium-based devices and paves the way for scalable quantum computing architectures by leveraging the advantages of heterogeneous qubit implementations.

Fast and High-Fidelity State Preparation and Measurement in Triple-Quantum-Dot Spin Qubits

We demonstrate rapid high-fidelity state preparation and measurement in exchange-only Si/SiGe triplequantum-dot qubits.Fast measurement integration (980-ns) and initialization (approximately 300-ns) operations are performed with all-electrical baseband control.We emphasize a leakage-sensitive joint initialization and measurement metric, developed in the context of exchange-only qubits but applicable more broadly, and report an infidelity of 2.5 ± 0.5×10 -3 .This result is enabled by a high-valley-splitting heterostructure, initialization at the two-to three-electron charge boundary, and careful assessment and mitigation of T 1 during spin-to-charge conversion.The ultimate fidelity is limited by a number of comparably important factors and we identify clear paths toward further improved fidelity and speed.Along with an observed single-qubit randomized benchmarking error rate of 1.7 × 10 -3 , this work demonstrates initialization, control, and measurement of Si/SiGe triple-dot qubits at fidelities and durations that are promising for scalable quantum information processing.

Digital feedback in superconducting quantum circuits

Diego Ristè, L. DiCarlo

This chapter covers the development of feedback control of superconducting qubits using projective measurement and a discrete set of conditional actions, here referred to as digital feedback. We begin with an overview of the applications of digital feedback in quantum computing. We then introduce an implementation of high-fidelity projective measurement of superconducting qubits. This development lays the ground for closed-loop control based on the binary measurement result. A first application of digital feedback control is fast and deterministic qubit reset, allowing the repeated initialization of a qubit more than an order of magnitude faster than its relaxation rate. A second application employs feedback in a multi-qubit setting to convert the generation of entanglement by parity measurement from probabilistic to deterministic, targeting an entangled state with the desired parity every time.

Feedback control of superconducting quantum circuits

Diego Ristè

Superconducting circuits have recently risen to the forefront of the solid-state prototypes for quantum computing. Reaching the stage of robust quantum computing requires closing the loop between measurement and control of quantum bits (qubits). This thesis presents the realization of feedback control of superconducting qubits based on projective measurement, with initial applications. The first application is a reset operation which initializes a qubit in the ground state fast and on demand. In a second experiment, we transform a cavity into a two-qubit parity meter, which is capable of generating entanglement starting from an unentangled superposition state. We then employ feedback to turn the generation of entanglement from probabilistic to deterministic, thus combining two key ingredients - parity measurement and feedback - of quantum error correction. As a third application, we transform a superconducting qubit into a charge-parity detector to investigate the limits of quasiparticle tunneling to qubit coherence. We find room for at least a tenfold increase in qubit coherence times before quasiparticles become the bottleneck. Finally, we present our latest results towards implementing the bit-flip error correction code in a five-qubit processor and discuss the role of feedback control in the future development of superconducting quantum circuits.
