Qubit initialization is critical for many quantum algorithms and error correction schemes, and extensive efforts have been made to achieve this with high speed and efficiency. Here we experimentally demonstrate a fast and high fidelity reset scheme for tunable superconducting qubits. A rapid decay channel is constructed by modulating the flux through a transmon qubit and realizing a swap between the qubit and its readout resonator. The residual excited population can be suppressed to 0.08% $pm$ 0.08% within 34 ns, and the scheme requires no additional chip architecture, projective measurements, or feedback loops. In addition, the scheme has negligible effects on neighboring qubits, and is therefore suitable for large-scale multi-qubit systems. Our method also offers a way of entangling the qubit state with an itinerant single photon, particularly useful in quantum communication and quantum network applications.

Improving coherence times of quantum bits is a fundamental challenge in the field of quantum computing. With long-lived qubits it becomes, however, inefficient to wait until the qubits have relaxed to their ground state after completion of an experiment. Moreover, for error-correction schemes it is import to rapidly re-initialize ancilla parity-check qubits. We present a simple pulsed qubit reset protocol based on a two-pulse sequence. A first pulse transfers the excited state population to a higher excited qubit state and a second pulse into a lossy environment provided by a low-Q transmission line resonator, which is also used for qubit readout. We show that the remaining excited state population can be suppressed to $2.2pm0.8%$ and utilize the pulsed reset protocol to carry out experiments at enhanced rates.
Active qubit reset is a key operation in many quantum algorithms, and particularly in error correction codes. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a reset scheme of a three level transmon artificial atom coupled to a large bandwidth resonator. The reset protocol uses a microwave-induced interaction between the $|f,0rangle$ and $|g,1rangle$ states of the coupled transmon-resonator system, with $|grangle$ and $|frangle$ denoting the ground and second excited states of the transmon, and $|0rangle$ and $|1rangle$ the photon Fock states of the resonator. We characterize the reset process and demonstrate reinitialization of the transmon-resonator system to its ground state with $0.2%$ residual excitation in less than $500 , rm{ns}$. Our protocol is of practical interest as it has no requirements on the architecture, beyond those for fast and efficient single-shot readout of the transmon, and does not require feedback.
We demonstrate diabatic two-qubit gates with Pauli error rates down to $4.3(2)cdot 10^{-3}$ in as fast as 18 ns using frequency-tunable superconducting qubits. This is achieved by synchronizing the entangling parameters with minima in the leakage channel. The synchronization shows a landscape in gate parameter space that agrees with model predictions and facilitates robust tune-up. We test both iSWAP-like and CPHASE gates with cross-entropy benchmarking. The presented approach can be extended to multibody operations as well.
We develop a theory for non-degenerate parametric resonance in a tunable superconducting cavity. We focus on nonlinear effects that are caused by nonlinear Josephson elements connected to the cavity. We analyze parametric amplification in a strong nonlinear regime at the parametric instability threshold, and calculate maximum gain values. Above the threshold, in the parametric oscillator regime the linear cavity response diverges at the oscillator frequency at all pump strengths. We show that this divergence is related to the continuous degeneracy of the free oscillator state with respect to the phase. Applying on-resonance input lifts the degeneracy and removes the divergence. We also investigate the quantum noise squeezing. It is shown that in the strong amplification regime the noise undergoes four-mode squeezing, and that in this regime the output signal to noise ratio can significantly exceed the input value. We also analyze the intermode frequency conversion and identify parameters at which full conversion is achieved.
In this work we analyze the implementation of a control-phase gate through the resonance between the $|11rangle$ and $|20rangle$ states of two statically coupled transmons. We find that there are many different controls for the transmon frequency that implement the same gate with fidelities around $99.8%$ ($T_1=T_2^{*}=17$ $mu$s) and $99.99%$ ($T_1=T_2^{*}=300$ $mu$s) within a time that approaches the theoretical limit. All controls can be brought to this accuracy by calibrating the waiting time and the destination frequency near the $|11rangle-|20rangle$ resonance. However, some controls, such as those based on the theory of dynamical invariants, are particularly attractive due to reduced leakage, robustness against decoherence, and their limited bandwidth.
