Native multi-qubit gates on a single-junction unimon circuit

Sasu Tuohino, Mikko Möttönen, Matti Silveri

Quantum processors with native multi-qubit gates may offer very efficient implementations of near-term quantum algorithms on noisy hardware. Here, we introduce the multiunimon, a superconducting multimode circuit that encodes multiple qubits and enables native multi-qubit gates in a device consisting of a single Josephson junction embedded in a coplanar waveguide structure. Closely related to the unimon qubit, it inherits properties such as high anharmonicity, full protection against low-frequency charge noise, and partial protection against flux noise. By designing such a three-qubit device with Josephson-to-inductive energy ratio above unity and using a leakage-aware encoding scheme for the computational states, we simulate all twelve different controlled-controlled-NOT gates with a mean fidelity of 99.5% with simple sine-squared pulses of comparable length to single-qubit gates. The performance is limited by incoherent errors dominated by dielectric loss. With improvements in noise protection, design, and pulse shaping, the simulations suggest that fidelities approaching 99.99% are within reach. Our results demonstrate the potential of the multiunimon as a highly connected multi-qubit unit for larger superconducting quantum processors.

High-contrast ZZ interaction using multi-type superconducting qubits

Peng Zhao, Peng Xu, Dong Lan +3 more

For building a scalable quantum processor with superconducting qubits, the ZZ interaction is of great concert because of relevant for implementing two-qubit gates, and the close contact between gate infidelity and its residual. Two-qubit gates with fidelity beyond fault-tolerant thresholds have been demonstrated using the ZZ interaction. However, as the performance of quantum processor improves, the residual static-ZZ can also become a performance-limiting factor for quantum gate operations and quantum error correction. Here, we introduce a scalable superconducting architecture for addressing this challenge. We demonstrate that by coupling two superconducting qubits with opposite-sign anharmonicities together, high-contrast ZZ interaction can be realized in this architecture. Thus, we can control ZZ interaction with high on/off ratio for implementing two-qubit CZ gate, or suppress it during the two-qubit gate operations using XY interaction (e.g. iSWAP). Meanwhile, the ZZ crosstalk related to neighboring spectator qubits can also be heavily suppressed in fixed coupled multi-qubit systems. This architecture could provide a promising way towards scalable superconducting quantum processor with high gate fidelity and low qubit crosstalk.

Native CCZ Gate with Fluxonium Qubits and a Microwave-Driven Coupler

Grigoriy S. Mazhorin, Tatyana A. Chudakova, Alena S. Kazmina +12 more

Native multi-qubit gates could reduce the overhead associated with decompositions into single- and two-qubit operations, but whether they can simultaneously provide high fidelity, simple control and robustness against parasitic interactions in scalable architectures remains unclear. Here we experimentally realize a 65-ns native controlled-controlled-phase operation, locally equivalent to the Toffoli gate, with a fidelity of 99.39(5)% in a three-qubit processor unit based on fluxonium qubits coupled via a microwave-driven transmon coupler. The implemented operation would require CZ fidelities of approximately 99.94% if realized through a conventional decomposition. The gate is implemented with a single control pulse, that relies on a simple calibration procedure yielding coherence-limited performance. This processor unit naturally extends to scalable two-dimensional layouts with low parasitic interactions. Altogether, these results establish native multi-qubit gates as a viable hardware-efficient primitive for scalable superconducting quantum processors.
