We theoretically consider a cross-resonance (CR) gate implemented by pulse sequences proposed by Calderon-Vargas & Kestner, Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 150502 (2017). These sequences mitigate systematic error to first order, but their effectiveness is limited by one-qubit gate imperfections. Using additional microwave control pulses, it is possible to tune the effective CR Hamiltonian into a regime where these sequences operate optimally. This improves the overall feasibility of these sequences by reducing the one-qubit operations required for error correction. We illustrate this by simulating randomized benchmarking for a system of weakly coupled transmons and show that while this novel pulse sequence does not offer an advantage with the current state of the art in transmons, it does improve the scaling of CR gate infidelity with one-qubit gate infidelity.

We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the cross-resonance gate operation covering estimates for gate parameters and gate error as well as analyzing spectator qubits and multi-qubit frequency collisions. We start by revisiting the derivation of effective Hamiltonian models following Magesan et al. (arXiv:1804.04073). Transmon qubits are commonly modeled as a weakly anharmonic Kerr oscillator. Kerr theory only accounts for qubit frequency renormalization, while adopting number states as the eigenstates of the bare qubit Hamiltonian. Starting from the Josephson nonlinearity and by accounting for the eigenstates renormalization, due to counter-rotating terms, we derive a new starting model for the cross-resonance gate with modified qubit-qubit interaction and drive matrix elements. Employing time-dependent Schrieffer-Wolff perturbation theory, we derive an effective Hamiltonian for the cross-resonance gate with estimates for the gate parameters calculated up to the fourth order in drive amplitude. The new model with renormalized eigenstates lead to 10-15 percent relative correction of the effective gate parameters compared to Kerr theory. We find that gate operation is strongly dependent on the ratio of qubit-qubit detuning and anharmonicity. In particular, we characterize five distinct regions of operation, and propose candidate parameter choices for achieving high gate speed and low coherent gate error when the cross-resonance tone is equipped with an echo pulse sequence. Furthermore, we generalize our method to include a third spectator qubit and characterize possible detrimental multi-qubit frequency collisions.
Building upon the demonstration of coherent control and single-shot readout of the electron and nuclear spins of individual 31-P atoms in silicon, we present here a systematic experimental estimate of quantum gate fidelities using randomized benchmarking of 1-qubit gates in the Clifford group. We apply this analysis to the electron and the ionized 31-P nucleus of a single P donor in isotopically purified 28-Si. We find average gate fidelities of 99.95 % for the electron, and 99.99 % for the nuclear spin. These values are above certain error correction thresholds, and demonstrate the potential of donor-based quantum computing in silicon. By studying the influence of the shape and power of the control pulses, we find evidence that the present limitation to the gate fidelity is mostly related to the external hardware, and not the intrinsic behaviour of the qubit.
Off-resonant error for a driven quantum system refers to interactions due to the input drives having non-zero spectral overlap with unwanted system transitions. For the cross-resonance gate, this includes leakage as well as off-diagonal computational interactions that lead to bit-flip error on the control qubit. In this work, we quantify off-resonant error, with more focus on the less studied off-diagonal control interactions, for a direct CNOT gate implementation. Our results are based on numerical simulation of the dynamics, while we demonstrate the connection to time-dependent Schrieffer-Wolff and Magnus perturbation theories. We present two methods for suppressing such error terms. First, pulse parameters need to be optimized so that off-resonant transition frequencies coincide with the local minima due to the pulse spectrum sidebands. Second, we show the advantage of a $Y$-DRAG pulse on the control qubit in mitigating off-resonant error. Depending on qubit-qubit detuning, the proposed methods can improve the average off-resonant error from approximately $10^{-3}$ closer to the $10^{-4}$ level for a direct CNOT calibration.
Implementation of high-fidelity swapping operations is of vital importance to execute quantum algorithms on a quantum processor with limited connectivity. We present an efficient pulse control technique, cross-cross resonance (CCR) gate, to implement iSWAP and SWAP operations with dispersively-coupled fixed-frequency transmon qubits. The key ingredient of the CCR gate is simultaneously driving both of the coupled qubits at the frequency of another qubit, wherein the fast two-qubit interaction roughly equivalent to the XY entangling gates is realized without strongly driving the qubits. We develop the calibration technique for the CCR gate and evaluate the performance of iSWAP and SWAP gates The CCR gate shows roughly two-fold improvement in the average gate error and more than 10~% reduction in gate times from the conventional decomposition based on the cross resonance gate.
The control and handling of errors arising from cross-talk and unwanted interactions in multi-qubit systems is an important issue in quantum information processing architectures. We introduce a benchmarking protocol that provides information about the amount of addressability present in the system and implement it on coupled superconducting qubits. The protocol consists of randomized benchmarking each qubit individually and then simultaneously, and the amount of addressability is related to the difference of the average gate fidelities of those experiments. We present the results on two similar samples with different amounts of cross-talk and unwanted interactions, which agree with predictions based on simple models for the amount of residual coupling.
