Universal Nonadiabatic Control of Small-Gap Superconducting Qubits

Daniel L. Campbell, Yun-Pil Shim, Bharath Kannan +8 more

© 2020 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. Resonant transverse driving of a two-level system as viewed in the rotating frame couples two degenerate states at the Rabi frequency, an equivalence that emerges in quantum mechanics. While successful at controlling natural and artificial quantum systems, certain limitations may arise (e.g., the achievable gate speed) due to nonidealities like the counterrotating term. We introduce a superconducting composite qubit (CQB), formed from two capacitively coupled transmon qubits, which features a small avoided crossing - smaller than the environmental temperature - between two energy levels. We control this low-frequency CQB using solely baseband pulses, nonadiabatic transitions, and coherent Landau-Zener interference to achieve fast, high-fidelity, single-qubit operations with Clifford fidelities exceeding 99.7%. We also perform coupled qubit operations between two low-frequency CQBs. This work demonstrates that universal nonadiabatic control of low-frequency qubits is feasible using solely baseband pulses.

Parametric two-qubit gates via Landau-Zener interference

Simon Geisert, Albert Hertel, Soeren Ihssen +23 more

We propose and demonstrate gates between two superconducting qubits based on quantum interference of consecutive Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions. This gate mechanism bridges between baseband and parametric two-qubit control, enabling in situ tuning of the control frequency across a continuous interval up to hundreds of MHz. Another advantage compared to dispersive couplers is that the speed of the LZ gate is on the order of the full coupling strength. We experimentally demonstrate the gate on two platforms, a modular chiplet architecture of coupled generalized flux qubits, and on a monolithic transmon architecture. The combination of tunability and gate speed establishes the LZ gate as a unique tool for multiplexing control pulses and interconnecting superconducting chiplet architectures.

Demonstration of Geometric Landau-Zener Interferometry in a Superconducting Qubit

Xinsheng Tan, Dan-Wei Zhang, Zhentao Zhang +3 more

Geometric quantum manipulation and Landau-Zener interferometry have been separately explored in many quantum systems. In this Letter, we combine these two approaches to study the dynamics of a superconducting phase qubit. We experimentally demonstrate Landau-Zener interferometry based on the pure geometric phases in this solid-state qubit. We observe the interference caused by a pure geometric phase accumulated in the evolution between two consecutive Landau-Zener transitions, while the dynamical phase is canceled out by a spin-echo pulse. The full controllability of the qubit state as a function of the intrinsically robust geometric phase provides a promising approach for quantum state manipulation.
