• Abstract summary: Signal crosstalk imposes constraints on the frequency separation between neighboring qubits. We characterize 32 identical transmon qubits and demonstrate the frequencies of the qubit with a 40 MHz standard deviation. We can scale up to 100 qubits with an average of only 3 collisions between quantum-gate transition frequencies.

• Abstract: The reproducibility of qubit parameters is a challenge for scaling up superconducting quantum processors. Signal crosstalk imposes constraints on the frequency separation between neighboring qubits. The frequency uncertainty of transmon qubits arising from the fabrication process is attributed to deviations in the Josephson junction area, tunnel barrier thickness, and the qubit capacitor. We decrease the sensitivity to these variations by fabricating larger Josephson junctions and reduce the wafer-level standard deviation in resistance down to 2%. We characterize 32 identical transmon qubits and demonstrate the reproducibility of the qubit frequencies with a 40 MHz standard deviation (i.e. 1%) with qubit quality factors exceeding 2 million. We perform two-level-system (TLS) spectroscopy and observe no significant increase in the number of TLSs causing qubit relaxation. We further show by simulation that for our parametric-gate architecture, and accounting only for errors caused by the uncertainty of the qubit frequency, we can scale up to 100 qubits with an average of only 3 collisions between quantum-gate transition frequencies, assuming 2% crosstalk and 99.9% target gate fidelity.

  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.

  We propose an alternative remote cross-resonance gate between superconducting fixed-frequency qubits. For 0.25- and 0.5-m cables, remote cross-resonance gates with a concurrence of $>99.9%$ in entanglement generation are obtained. The optimized echoed raised-cosine pulse duration is 150--400 ns, which is similar to the operation time of cross-resonance gates between neighboring qubits on a chip.

The asymmetric structure composed of fluxonium and transmon will optimize the frequency space and form a high fidelity two-qubit quantum gate. We study the performance of this scheme by simulating the general single-qubit Xpi/2 gate and two-qubit (iSWAP) gate.

  Superconducting circuits are a leading platform for quantum computing. Charge fluctuators inside amorphous oxide layers contribute to both low-frequency $1/f$ charge noise and high-frequency dielectric loss. We propose to mitigate those harmful effects by engineering the relevant TLS noise spectral densities.

  We propose and analyze two types of microwave-activated gates between a fluxonium and a transmon qubit. For a medium-frequency fluxonium qubit, the transmon-fluxonium system allows for a cross-resonance effect mediated by the higher levels of the fluxonium. A fast microwave CPHASE gate can be implemented using the higher levels of the fluxonium.

  Temporal, spectral, and sample-to-sample fluctuations in coherence properties of qubits form an outstanding challenge for the development of upscaled fault-tolerant quantum computers. A ubiquitous source for these fluctuations in superconducting qubits is a set of atomic-scale defects with a two-level structure. We show that frequency modulation of a qubit or, alternatively, of the two-level defects, leads to averaging of the qubit relaxation rate over a wide interval of frequencies.
