High fidelity encoded gate operations for composite superconducting qubit

ORAL

Abstract

Our encoded qubit scheme for superconducting transmon qubits explores a non-traditional architecture where the computational states are encoded by the hybridized states formed by a pair of capacitively coupled degenerate transmons. Gate operations can be implemented on the encoded qubit using non-adiabatic Landau-Zener control at the small avoided crossing and requiring only baseband control, without individual microwave control for each transmon. Even with frequencies far below the effective temperature, high fidelity encoded gates can be achieved utilizing the sweet spot (optimal operating point) and dynamical sweet spot (optimal pulse shape). Further, these composite qubits show immunity to photon noise in readout resonators, which can be a limiting factor in many transmon-based quantum computing systems, often requiring special attenuators to mitigate. We also discuss the leakage errors due to relaxation to the physical ground state which is outside of the encoded qubit's computational subspace.
