• Abstract: In this study, we employ purity benchmarking (PB) to explore the dynamics of gate noise in a superconducting qubit system. Over 1110 hours of observations on an Xmon qubit, we simultaneously measure the coherence noise budget across two different operational frequencies. We find that incoherent errors, which predominate in overall error rates, exhibit minimal frequency dependence, suggesting they are primarily due to wide-band, diffusive incoherent error sources. In contrast, coherent errors, although less prevalent, show significant sensitivity to operational frequency variations and telegraphic noise. We speculate that this sensitivity is due to interactions with a single strongly coupled environmental defect -- modeled as a two-level system -- which influences qubit control parameters and causes coherent calibration errors. Our results also demonstrate that PB offers improved sensitivity, capturing additional dynamics that conventional relaxation time measurements cannot detect, thus presenting a more comprehensive method for capturing dynamic interactions within quantum systems. The intricate nature of these coherence dynamics underscores the need for further research.

  We study the structure of non-Markovian correlated errors and their impact on surface code memory performance. Our analysis shows that while not all temporally correlated structures are detrimental, certain structures, particularly multi-time "streaky" correlations, can severely degrade logical error rate scaling.

  We study a minimal exactly solvable single-qubit model under Gaussian quantum dephasing noise. For digital periodic control, we prove that, under mild conditions on the low-frequency behavior of the nonclassical noise spectrum, the gate fidelity saturates at a value that is strictly smaller than the one attainable in the absence of control history. We find that only if decoupling can keep the qubit highly pure over a timescale larger than the correlation time of the noise, the bath approximately converges to its original statistics and a stable-in-time control performance is recovered.

  Correlated noise across multiple qubits poses a significant challenge for achieving scalable quantum processors. We study the dynamics of driven qubits under spatially correlated noise, including both Markovian and non-Markovian noise. In particular, we reveal that, in the quantum limit, pure dephasing noise induces a coherent long-range two-qubit Ising interaction that correlates distant qubits.

  Fluctuations of the qubit frequencies are one of the major problems to overcome on the way to scalable quantum computers. The statistics of the fluctuations can be characterized by measuring the correlators of the outcomes of periodically repeated Ramsey measurements. This work suggests a method that allows describing qubit dynamics during repeated measurements in the presence of evolving noise.

  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.

  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.
