Quantum Gates with Different Robust Merits

Abstract

Abstract A protocol for implementing a universal set of quantum gates, which are safeguarded from noise through geometric, dephasing‐free, and dynamical‐decoupling approaches is proposed. With properly designed Hamiltonians, the desired interactions are realized directly within the Schrödinger picture rather than relying on the interaction picture. This design confers two advantages. One is that the system's evolution remains continuously protected by the noise‐mitigation strategies at every stage, eliminating the need to revert to the Schrödinger picture. The other one is that the dynamical decoupling technique effectively averages out small residual free terms in the system's Hamiltonian, thus reducing the stringent requirements for precise control of system parameters to avoid errors. Furthermore, numerical results are presented to support our protocol by finding gate fidelities in the absence (presence) of noises or errors, without or with dynamical decoupling technique.

Decoherence-Protected Implementation of Quantum Gates

Chunfeng Wu, Chunfang Sun, Jing‐Ling Chen +1 more

We present a scheme to implement a universal set of quantum gates based on achievable interactions, and the gates can be protected against decoherence through a dynamical-decoupling approach without encoding. By properly designing system evolution, the desired system interactions commute with the elements forming dynamical decoupling pulses. Thus, the effect of decoherence can be eliminated by repeatedly applying the pulses, without noticeably affecting the system evolution governed by the desired system interactions given a small enough time interval between pulses. Moreover, due to the commutation between the elements forming the pulses and the desired system interactions, our scheme is resistant to different types of decoherence, and so not limited to specific decoherence. Our scheme also works well in the case that the desired system interactions cannot be achieved ideally due to imperfect control of system parameters, through the action of dynamical-decoupling pulses.

Protecting Quantum Gates from Arbitrary Single‐ and Two‐Qubit Errors

Gangcheng Wang, Chunfeng Wu, Chunfang Sun +1 more

Abstract The protection of quantum gates from arbitrary single‐ and two‐qubit noises with properly designed dynamical decoupling (DD) pulses is explored. The proposed dynamical decoupling method is a concatenation of a sequence of pulses formed by , with another sequence constructed by , . The concatenation of the two sequences results in desired pulses to fight against any single‐ and two‐qubit errors. The success of the method relies on the ability to adjust system parameters or interaction terms, which can be achieved in different physical systems, including trapped ions and superconducting qubits. Finallythe performance of the method is explored numerically with the above‐mentioned errors that are changing at any moment and show the preferred protection offered by the method. Therefore, the method is a timely step forward in preserving quantum gates at the level of physical qubits.

Implementation of Hybridly Protected Quantum Gates

Chunfeng Wu, Chunfang Sun, Gangcheng Wang +2 more

We explore the implementation of hybridly protected quantum operations combining the merits of geometry and holonomy, dynamical decoupling approach, and dephasing-free feature based on a simple and experimentally achievable spin model. The implementation of the quantum operations can be achieved in different physical systems with controllable parameters. The protected quantum operations are hence controllable and well suited for resolving various quantum-computation tasks, such as executing quantum error-correction codes or quantum error mitigation. Our scheme is based on an experimentally achievable Hamiltonian with reduced requirement of computational resources and thus, it brings us closer towards realizing protected quantum operations for resolving quantum-computation tasks in near-term quantum devices.

Protecting quantum gates from arbitrary single- and two-qubit errors

We explore the protection of quantum gates from arbitrary single- and two-qubit noises with properly designed dynamical decoupling pulses. The proposed dynamical decoupling method is a concatenation of a sequence of pulses formed by $σ_x$, $σ_xσ_x$ with another sequence constructed by $σ_z$, $σ_zσ_z$. The concatenation of the two sequences results in desired pulses to fight agianst any single- and two-qubit errors. The success of our method relies on the ability to adjust system parameters or interaction terms, which can be achieved in different physical systems, including trapped ions and superconducting qubits.

Designing Robust Quantum Gates

Yuanxing Hao, Marin Bukov

For given control channels, quantum control theory determines whether quantum gates can be realized, but not their resilience to errors. We address this problem by establishing existence criteria for robust gate implementation in $d$-level systems. Our criteria reveal that implementability of all gates is not enough: a universal family of robust gates exists if and only if the driven Hamiltonians share no common symmetry. When these criteria hold, we can make gates resilient to any combination of static perturbations, uniform Hamiltonian rescaling, perturbations at a finite set of selected frequencies, and perturbations with arbitrary selected waveforms. We can impose robustness conditions broadly with limited information about errors, e.g., against any static perturbations; we can also tailor these conditions to the platform, e.g., against environment-induced noise with dominant spectral peaks, requiring no spectral details beyond the peak frequencies. We numerically construct explicit protocols for robust gates, reducing average gate infidelity by approximately two to seven orders of magnitude under Hamiltonian perturbations and environment-induced noise. Together, our existence criteria and numerical constructions provide practical guidance for evaluating the potential of quantum platforms and designing robust quantum gates.
