• Abstract: Superconducting qubits are a promising platform for building a larger-scale quantum processor capable of solving otherwise intractable problems. In order for the processor to reach practical viability, the gate errors need to be further suppressed and remain stable for extended periods of time. With recent advances in qubit control, both single- and two-qubit gate fidelities are now in many cases limited by the coherence times of the qubits. Here we experimentally employ closed-loop feedback to stabilize the frequency fluctuations of a superconducting transmon qubit, thereby increasing its coherence time by 26\% and reducing the single-qubit error rate from $(8.5 \pm 2.1)\times 10^{-4}$ to $(5.9 \pm 0.7)\times 10^{-4}$. Importantly, the resulting high-fidelity operation remains effective even away from the qubit flux-noise insensitive point, significantly increasing the frequency bandwidth over which the qubit can be operated with high fidelity. This approach is helpful in large qubit grids, where frequency crowding and parasitic interactions between the qubits limit their performance.

  We demonstrate a novel multi-mode linear bus interferometer (LBI) coupler in a six qubit superconducting quantum processor. A key feature of this coupler is an engineered multi-path interference which eliminates transverse coupling between qubits over a wide frequency range. We achieve good simultaneous single qubit gate operation and low ZZ rates (below 600 Hz) across the device without staggering qubit frequencies.

  A second superconducting qubit is strongly coupling along the control line. This second qubit prevents the qubit from emitting microwave photons and thus suppresses its relaxation. We observe an improvement of the qubit relaxation time without a reduction of the Rabi frequency. This device could potentially help in the realization of a large-scale superconducting quantum information processor.
