Abstract

The binomial code is renowned for its parity-mediated loss immunity and loss-error recoverability, while geometric phases are widely recognized for their intrinsic resilience against noise. Capitalizing on their complementary merits, we propose a noise-resilient protocol to realize Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation with binomial codes in a superconducting system composed of a microwave cavity %off-resonantly dispersively coupled to a %three-level qutrit. The control field %geometric quantum computation is designed by %combining geometric phases, integrating reverse engineering and optimal control. This design provides a customized control protocol featuring strong error-tolerance and inherent noise-resilience. Using experimentally accessible parameters in superconducting systems, numerical simulations show that the protocol yields relatively high average fidelity for geometric quantum gates based on binomial code, even in the presence of parameter fluctuations and decoherence. Thus, this protocol may provide a practical approach for realizing reliable Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation with binomial codes in current technology.

Error-resistant nonadiabatic binomial-code geometric quantum computation using reverse engineering

Yi‐Hao Kang, Jie Song, Yan Xia

We propose a scheme to realize error-resistant nonadiabatic binomial-code geometric quantum computation using reverse engineering. A strong Kerr nonlinearity restricts the evolution in a computational subspace of the binomial code and a two-photon squeezing drive provides the connections between the logical states. The effective Hamiltonian possesses SU(2) dynamic structure and is analyzed through reverse engineering based on a dynamic invariant. By combining reverse engineering with the optimal control method, we find the evolution paths for nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation and derive the control field robust against the systematic error. Numerical simulations show that the scheme holds excellent resistance to the systematic error and is still well implemented in the presence of resonator leakage with the current superconducting nonlinear resonator technology. Therefore, the scheme may provide a promising approach for accurate nonadiabatic binomial-code geometric quantum computation.

Robust nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation by dynamical correction

Ming-Jie Liang, Zheng‐Yuan Xue

Besides the intrinsic noise resilience property, nonadiabatic geometric phases are of the fast evolution nature, and thus can naturally be used in constructing quantum gates with excellent performance, i.e., the so-called nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC). However, previous single-loop NGQC schemes are sensitive to the operational control error, i.e., the $X$ error, due to the limitations of the implementation. Here, we propose a robust scheme for NGQC combining with the dynamical correction technique, which still uses only simplified pulses, and thus being experimental friendly. We numerically show that our scheme can greatly improve the gate robustness in previous protocols, retaining the intrinsic merit of geometric phases. Furthermore, to fight against the dephasing noise, due to the $Z$ error, we can incorporate the decoherence-free subspace encoding strategy. In this way, our scheme can be robust against both types of errors. Finally, we also propose how to implement the scheme with encoding on superconducting quantum circuits with experimentally demonstrated technology. Therefore, due to the intrinsic robustness, our scheme provides a promising alternation for the future scalable fault-tolerant quantum computation.

Experimental Implementation of Universal Nonadiabatic Geometric Quantum Gates in a Superconducting Circuit

Yuan Xu, Ziyue Hua, Tao Chen +9 more

Using geometric phases to realize noise-resilient quantum computing is an important method to enhance the control fidelity. In this work, we experimentally realize a universal nonadiabatic geometric quantum gate set in a superconducting qubit chain. We characterize the realized single- and two-qubit geometric gates with both quantum process tomography and randomized benchmarking methods. The measured average fidelities for the single-qubit rotation gates and two-qubit controlled-Z gate are 0.9977(1) and 0.977(9), respectively. Besides, we also experimentally demonstrate the noise-resilient feature of the realized single-qubit geometric gates by comparing their performance with the conventional dynamical gates with different types of errors in the control field. Thus, our experiment proves a way to achieve high-fidelity geometric quantum gates for robust quantum computation.

Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation with optimal control on superconducting circuits

Jing Mang Xu, Sai Li, Tao Chen +1 more

Quantum gates, which are the essential building blocks of quantum computers, are very fragile. Thus, to realize robust quantum gates with high fidelity is the ultimate goal of quantum manipulation. Here, we propose a nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation scheme on superconducting circuits to engineer arbitrary quantum gates, which share both the robust merit of geometric phases and the capacity to combine with optimal control technique to further enhance the gate robustness. Specifically, in our proposal, arbitrary geometric single-qubit gates can be realized on a transmon qubit, by a resonant microwave field driving, with both the amplitude and phase of the driving being time-dependent. Meanwhile, nontrivial two-qubit geometric gates can be implemented by two capacitively coupled transmon qubits, with one of the transmon qubits’ frequency being modulated to obtain effective resonant coupling between them. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising step towards fault-tolerant solid-state quantum computation.

All-microwave nonadiabatic multiqubit geometric phase gate for superconducting qubits

Tianqi Cai, J.-H. Wang, Z.-L. Wang +4 more

Geometric phase gates are promising tools toward robust quantum computing owing to their robustness against certain control errors and decoherence. Here, we propose a multiqubit architecture with a nonadiabatic geometric phase gate scheme that is feasible in widely used superconducting qubit designs such as transmon and fluxonium. Through segmented microwave drive on multiple qubits coupled off-resonantly to a common resonator, the geometric phase gate is obtained from the qubit-state-dependent displacement of the resonator without fine-tuning the qubit frequencies. Fidelity above 99.99% is achieved in simulation under the available experimental parameters. Our scheme uses all-microwave control and only exploits the lowest qubit levels with long coherence time; thus it is desirable for experiments. Together with the single-qubit holonomic gates demonstrated in earlier experiments, our scheme can realize universal all-geometric quantum computing, and it also finds applications in quantum simulation with many-body interactions.

Nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates that are insensitive to qubit-frequency drifts

Jian Zhou, Sai Li, Guo‐Zhu Pan +3 more

Quantum manipulation based on geometric phases provides a promising way towards robust quantum gates. However, in the current implementation of nonadiabatic geometric phases, operational and/or random errors tend to destruct the conditions that induce geometric phases, thereby smearing their noise-resilient feature. In a recent experiment [Y. Xu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 230503 (2020)], high-fidelity universal geometric quantum gates have been implemented in a superconducting circuit, which are robust to different types of errors under different configurations of the geometric evolution paths. Here, we apply the path-design strategy to explain in detail why both configurations can realize universal quantum gates in a single-loop way. Meanwhile, we purposefully induce our geometric manipulation by selecting the path configuration that is robust against the qubit-frequency-drift-induced error, which is the dominant error source on realistic superconducting circuits and has not been deliberately addressed. Moreover, our proposal can further integrate with the composite scheme to enhance the gate robustness, which is verified by numerical simulations. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising way towards practical realization of high-fidelity and robust nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates.
