The addition of tunable couplers to superconducting quantum architectures offers significant advantages for scaling compared to fixed coupling approaches. In principle, tunable couplers allow for exact cancellation of qubit-qubit coupling through the interference of two parallel coupling pathways between qubits. However, stray microwave couplings can introduce additional pathways which complicate the interference effect. Here we investigate the primary spectator induced errors of the bus below qubit (BBQ) architecture in a six qubit device. We identify the key design parameters which inhibit ideal cancellation and demonstrate that dynamic cancellation pulses can further mitigate spectator errors.

Performing efficient quantum computer tuneup and calibration is essential for growth in system complexity. In this work we explore the link between facilitating such capabilities and the underlying architecture of the physical hardware. We focus on t he specific challenge of measuring (``mapping) spatially inhomogeneous quasi-static calibration errors using spectator qubits dedicated to the task of sensing and calibration. We introduce a novel architectural concept for such spectator qubits: arranging them spatially according to prescriptions from optimal 2D approximation theory. We show that this insight allows for efficient reconstruction of inhomogeneities in qubit calibration, focusing on the specific example of frequency errors which may arise from fabrication variances or ambient magnetic fields. Our results demonstrate that optimal interpolation techniques display near optimal error-scaling in cases where the measured characteristic (here the qubit frequency) varies smoothly, and we probe the limits of these benefits as a function of measurement uncertainty. For more complex spatial variations, we demonstrate that the NMQA formalism for adaptive measurement and noise filtering outperforms optimal interpolation techniques in isolation, and crucially, can be combined with insights from optimal interpolation theory to produce a general purpose protocol.
Implementation of high-fidelity two-qubit operations is a key ingredient for scalable quantum error correction. In superconducting qubit architectures tunable buses have been explored as a means to higher fidelity gates. However, these buses introduc e new pathways for leakage. Here we present a modified tunable bus architecture appropriate for fixed-frequency qubits in which the adiabaticity restrictions on gate speed are reduced. We characterize this coupler on a range of two-qubit devices achieving a maximum gate fidelity of $99.85%$. We further show the calibration is stable over one day.
The precise determination of the position of point-like emitters and scatterers using far-field optical imaging techniques is of utmost importance for a wide range of applications in medicine, biology, astronomy, and physics. Although the optical wav elength sets a fundamental limit to the image resolution of unknown objects, the position of an individual emitter can in principle be estimated from the image with arbitrary precision. This is used, e.g., in stars position determination and in optical super-resolution microscopy. Furthermore, precise position determination is an experimental prerequisite for the manipulation and measurement of individual quantum systems, such as atoms, ions, and solid state-based quantum emitters. Here we demonstrate that spin-orbit coupling of light in the emission of elliptically polarized emitters can lead to systematic, wavelength-scale errors in the estimate of the emitters position. Imaging a single trapped atom as well as a single sub-wavelength-diameter gold nanoparticle, we demonstrate a shift between the emitters measured and actual positions which is comparable to the optical wavelength. Remarkably, for certain settings, the expected shift can become arbitrarily large. Beyond their relevance for optical imaging techniques, our findings apply to the localization of objects using any type of wave that carries orbital angular momentum relative to the emitters position with a component orthogonal to the direction of observation.
For a variety of superconducting qubits, tunable interactions are achieved through mutual inductive coupling to a coupler circuit containing a nonlinear Josephson element. In this paper we derive the general interaction mediated by such a circuit und er the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation. This interaction naturally decomposes into a classical part, with origin in the classical circuit equations, and a quantum part, associated with the couplers zero-point energy. Our result is non-perturbative in the qubit-coupler coupling strengths and in the coupler nonlinearity. This can lead to significant departures from previous, linear theories for the inter-qubit coupling, including non-stoquastic and many-body interactions. Our analysis provides explicit and efficiently computable series for any term in the interaction Hamiltonian and can be applied to any superconducting qubit type. We conclude with a numerical investigation of our theory using a case study of two coupled flux qubits, and in particular study the regime of validity of the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation.
Generating high-fidelity, tunable entanglement between qubits is crucial for realizing gate-based quantum computation. In superconducting circuits, tunable interactions are often implemented using flux-tunable qubits or coupling elements, adding cont rol complexity and noise sources. Here, we realize a tunable $ZZ$ interaction between two transmon qubits with fixed frequencies and fixed coupling, induced by driving both transmons off-resonantly. We show tunable coupling over one order of magnitude larger than the static coupling, and change the sign of the interaction, enabling cancellation of the idle coupling. Further, this interaction is amenable to large quantum processors: the drive frequency can be flexibly chosen to avoid spurious transitions, and because both transmons are driven, it is resilient to microwave crosstalk. We apply this interaction to implement a controlled phase (CZ) gate with a gate fidelity of $99.43(1)%$ as measured by cycle benchmarking, and we find the fidelity is limited by incoherent errors.
