• Abstract summary: Crosstalk errors, stemming from CNOT two-qubit gates, are a crucial source of errors on numerous quantum computing platforms. We develop and apply an extension of the randomized compiling protocol that includes a special treatment of neighboring qubits. Our twirling of neighboring qubits is shown to dramatically improve the noise estimation protocol without the need to add new qubits or circuits.

• Abstract: We develop and apply an extension of the randomized compiling (RC) protocol that includes a special treatment of neighboring qubits and dramatically reduces crosstalk effects caused by the application of faulty gates on superconducting qubits in IBMQ quantum computers (\texttt{ibm\_lagos} and \texttt{ibmq\_ehningen}). Crosstalk errors, stemming from CNOT two-qubit gates, are a crucial source of errors on numerous quantum computing platforms. For the IBMQ machines, their magnitude is often overlooked-9. Our RC protocol turns coherent noise due to crosstalk into a depolarising noise channel that can then be treated using established error mitigation schemes, such as noise estimation circuits. We apply our approach to the quantum simulation of the non-equilibrium dynamics of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) Hamiltonian for superconductivity, a particularly challenging model to simulate on quantum hardware because of the long-range interaction of Cooper pairs. With 135 CNOT gates, we work in a regime where crosstalk, as opposed to either trotterization or qubit decoherence, dominates the error. Our twirling of neighboring qubits is shown to dramatically improve the noise estimation protocol without the need to add new qubits or circuits and allows for a quantitative simulation of the BCS model.

• Suppression of crosstalk in superconducting qubits using dynamical decoupling [0.0]
  Super superconducting quantum processors with interconnected transmon qubits are noisy and prone to various errors. ZZ-coupling between qubits in fixed frequency transmon architectures is always present and contributes to both coherent and incoherent crosstalk errors. We propose the use of dynamical decoupling to suppress the crosstalk, and demonstrate the success of this scheme through experiments on several IBM quantum cloud processors.

  We present a study of crosstalk errors in a quantum-computing architecture based on a single string of ions confined by a radio-frequency trap, and manipulated by individually-addressed laser beams. This type of errors affects spectator qubits that, ideally, should remain unaltered during the application of single- and two-qubit quantum gates addressed at a different set of active qubits. We microscopically model crosstalk errors from first principles and present a detailed study showing the importance of using a coherent vs incoherent error modelling and, moreover, discuss strategies to actively suppress this crosstalk at the gate level.
