Protected measurements for protected superconducting qubits

Xanda C Kolesnikow, Thomas B Smith, Andrew C Doherty

Protected superconducting qubits such as the $0$-$π$ qubit promise to substantially suppress error rates, facilitating fault-tolerant quantum computing with fewer qubits. Measuring these qubits is challenging due to their protected nature, and thus far no concrete proposal exists for how to measure them without breaking their protection. Here we show how to perform protected measurements of the $0$-$π$ qubit in two orthogonal bases. The protection of these measurements is facilitated by their quantum non-demolition nature, allowing faults on ancillary measurement qubits to be tolerated. As experimental progress pushes protected qubits further into the low error-rate regime, our techniques will be crucial for fault-tolerant universal control.

Optimal robust single-qubit gates in superconducting quantum processors

Tangyou Huang, Anuj Aggarwal, Jingjun Zhu +11 more

Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires high-fidelity quantum gates that are resilient to control errors and device imperfections. Here, we develop energy-optimal control pulses for single-qubit gates that are simultaneously robust against frequency detuning and waveform inhomogeneities while also suppressing leakage outside the computational subspace. Combining the optimized pulse envelopes with an adaptive control scheme, we experimentally demonstrate optimal robust gates on a superconducting quantum processor. For a gate duration of 90ns, we achieve fidelities above 99.9% for the X gate and 99.6% for Hadamard-type gates. For the X gate, we maintain fidelities above 99.5% for simultaneous drive-amplitude variations up to 20% and qubit detuning up to 4 MHz. This robustness outperforms that of conventional Gaussian pulses by an order of magnitude, without much difference in peak gate fidelity. These results establish a route towards robust single-qubit control in large-scale quantum processors, advancing the development of fault-tolerant quantum computing.

A Fully Pipelined Architecture of Quantum-Classical Interface for Realizing Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer

Takefumi Miyoshi, Keisuke Koike, Shinichi Morisaka +5 more

We propose a fully pipelined Quantum-Classical interface (QC-IF) architecture for fault-tolerant quantum computing. The current Quantum-Classical interface has been working for superconducting quantum computers with 64 qubits in RIKEN and 16 qubits in QIQB Osaka University. The interface sends/receives a sequence of pulses to/from the qubits and demodulates the acquired ones, in which a batch controller is designed to operate up to 500 milliseconds, longer than the coherence time. For Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers(FTQC), however, a fully pipelined Quantum-Classical Interface is required to send and receive pulses, collecting syndrome information over time far beyond the coherence time. Here, we present a control plane newly incorporated into the current architecture to handle consecutive sending, receiving, and demodulating pulses. Since the current system has achieved wire-rate operation to retrieve and transmit signals, the control plane for continuous operation naturally extends the system to a fully pipelined architecture.
