Scalable Generation of Cluster State with Superconducting Circuit

Abstract

Recently, fault tolerant quantum computation such as surface coding and topological quantum computation has been paid attention to due to high threshold against computational errors compared with that of conventional gate-model quantum computation.These schemes use a two or three-dimensional cluster state as universal resources for quantum computation.We can generate a cluster state by performing controlled-phase gates on an initial state prepared in |+⟩ state, where the control-phase gates are realized by nearest neighbor Ising type interactions.There are many proposal to realize Ising type interaction such as ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, superconducting charge qubits, superconducting spin qubits, resonator wave guides, nitrogen-vacancy centers, and quantum dots.Among many candidates, we especially discuss superconducting flux qubits.Superconducting flux qubits have a strong anharmonicity, so that we can perform high-speed single-qubit rotation with excellent fidelity.Usually, implementation of high-fidelity two-qubit gates is the hardest part for the realization of quantum computation.Two qubit gates require in-situ turn on/off the interaction between qubits by the external control apparatus.Since imperfection of the interaction control tends to induce spatially correlated errors between qubits, sophisticated technology is required to suppress such error rate below the threshold of fault tolerant quantum computation.Up to now, the generation of a large cluster state using solid-state qubit has not been demonstrated in a scalable manner yet.One of the main obstacles is the requirement for independent control of two-qubit gates that are necessary for the scalable quantum information processing.For a superconducting flux qubit, existing method uses applied magnetic field to control the interaction.It is known that the application of magnetic field to local area is difficult.Thus, it is hard to implement local control of the interaction without cross-talk problem where unwanted errors occurs between qubits.Firstly, we propose a novel way to control a number of two-qubit gates independently without using the on/off switching of locally applied magnetic field.Specifically, we assume the superconducting flux qubits that are inductively coupled with each other via always-on Ising interaction.Unlike the previous method to change the interaction strength with unitary operations, we fully make use of non-unitary properties of projective measurements so that we can effectively turn on/off the interaction via quantum feedforward.Also, we show how to generate a two or three-dimensional cluster state that are universal resource for fault tolerant quantum computation with constant stepsize operations.The on/off switching of locally applied magnetic field is not necessary to First of all, I would like to thank my adviser Professor Hiroshi Imai for his valuable comments and continuous support during the last five years.

One-way quantum computing in superconducting circuits

F. Albarrán-Arriagada, G. Alvarado Barrios, Mikel Sanz +4 more

We propose a method for the implementation of one-way quantum computing in superconducting circuits. Measurement-based quantum computing is a universal quantum computation paradigm in which an initial cluster state provides the quantum resource, while the iteration of sequential measurements and local rotations encodes the quantum algorithm. Up to now, technical constraints have limited a scalable approach to this quantum computing alternative. The initial cluster state can be generated with available controlled-phase gates, while the quantum algorithm makes use of high-fidelity readout and coherent feedforward. With current technology, we estimate that quantum algorithms with above 20 qubits may be implemented in the path toward quantum supremacy. Moreover, we propose an alternative initial state with properties of maximal persistence and maximal connectedness, reducing the required resources of one-way quantum computing protocols.

Here, we propose a way to control the interaction between qubits with always-on Ising interaction. Unlike the standard method to change the interaction strength with unitary operations, we fully make use of nonunitary properties of projective measurements so that we can effectively turn the interaction on or off via feedforward. Our scheme is useful for generating two- or three-dimensional cluster states that are universal resources for fault-tolerant quantum computation with this scheme, and it provides an alternative way to realize a scalable quantum processor.

Ising interaction between capacitively-coupled superconducting flux qubits

Takahiko Satoh, Yuichiro Matsuzaki, Kosuke Kakuyanagi +3 more

Here, we propose a scheme to generate a controllable Ising interaction between superconducting flux qubits. Existing schemes rely on inducting couplings to realize Ising interactions between flux qubits, and the interaction strength is controlled by an applied magnetic field On the other hand, we have found a way to generate an interaction between the flux qubits via capacitive couplings. This has an advantage in individual addressability, because we can control the interaction strength by changing an applied voltage that can be easily localized. This is a crucial step toward the realizing superconducting flux qubit quantum computation.

Scalable High-Performance Fluxonium Quantum Processor

Long B. Nguyen, Gerwin Koolstra, Yosep Kim +12 more

The technological development of hardware heading toward universal fault-tolerant quantum computation requires a large-scale processing unit with high performance. While fluxonium qubits are promising with high coherence and large anharmonicity, their scalability has not been systematically explored. In this work, we propose a superconducting quantum information processor based on compact high-coherence fluxoniums with suppressed crosstalk, reduced design complexity, improved operational efficiency, high-fidelity gates, and resistance to parameter fluctuations. In this architecture, the qubits are readout dispersively using individual resonators connected to a common bus and manipulated via combined on-chip RF and DC control lines, both of which can be designed to have low crosstalk. A multi-path coupling approach enables exchange interactions between the high-coherence computational states and at the same time suppresses the spurious static ZZ rate, leading to fast and high-fidelity entangling gates. We numerically investigate the cross resonance controlled-NOT and the differential AC-Stark controlled-Z operations, revealing low gate error for qubit-qubit detuning bandwidth of up to 1 GHz. Our study on frequency crowding indicates high fabrication yield for quantum processors consisting of over thousands of qubits. In addition, we estimate low resource overhead to suppress logical error rate using the XZZX surface code. These results promise a scalable quantum architecture with high performance for the pursuit of universal quantum computation.

High-Contrast Z Z Interaction Using Superconducting Qubits with Opposite-Sign Anharmonicity

Peng Zhao, Peng Xu, Dong Lan +4 more

For building a scalable quantum processor with superconducting qubits, ZZ interaction is of great concern because its residual has a crucial impact to two-qubit gate fidelity. Two-qubit gates with fidelity meeting the criterion of fault-tolerant quantum computation have been demonstrated using ZZ interaction. However, as the performance of quantum processors improves, the residual static ZZ can become a performance-limiting factor for quantum gate operation and quantum error correction. Here, we introduce a superconducting architecture using qubits with opposite-sign anharmonicity, a transmon qubit, and a C-shunt flux qubit, to address this issue. We theoretically demonstrate that by coupling the two types of qubits, the high-contrast ZZ interaction can be realized. Thus, we can control the interaction with a high on-off ratio to implement two-qubit controlled-Z gates, or suppress it during two-qubit gate operation using XY interaction (e.g., an iSWAP gate). The proposed architecture can also be scaled up to multiqubit cases. In a fixed coupled system, ZZ crosstalk related to neighboring spectator qubits could also be heavily suppressed.

Zero-level $CCZ$ Distillation

Tomohiro Itogawa, Yutaka Hirano, Yutaro Akahoshi +1 more

Magic state distillation is a key component of fault-tolerant quantum computation, as it enables the implementation of non-Clifford gates such as the $T$ gate and the $CCZ$ gate via gate teleportation. However, conventional distillation protocols require a large number of logical qubits and introduce substantial spatial and temporal overhead, posing a significant bottleneck for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this work, we propose a zero-level distillation protocol that efficiently generates a high-fidelity logical $CCZ$ magic state using only physical qubits on a two-dimensional square lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. Our method leverages the transversal $T/T^\dagger$ operation of the $[[ 8,3,2 ]]$ code to fault-tolerantly encode the state $\overline{CCZ}|+++\rangle$, which is subsequently teleported to three surface-code logical qubits via lattice surgery. To enable teleportation between codes with different distances, we introduce adaptively initialized teleportation (AIT), a tailored initialization procedure for the surface code. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the logical error rate scales as $p_L \simeq 300 \times p^2$ with respect to the physical error rate $p$. For example, the proposed method improves the logical error rate by approximately one and two orders of magnitude at $p = 10^{-3}$ and $p = 10^{-4}$, respectively, compared to conventional seven-$T$-gate approaches. The distillation circuit requires only 22 physical qubits, 3 logical qubits, and a circuit depth of 24, reducing the space-time overhead by a factor of approximately 5-10 compared to previous methods. This result highlights the practicality of $CCZ$-state distillation in early fault-tolerant quantum computation and offers a new direction toward resource-efficient physical-level magic state distillation beyond conventional $T$-state generation.
