• Title: Robust optimal control for a systematic error in the control amplitude of transmon qubits
• Authors: Max Cykiert, Eran Ginossar,
• Abstract summary: We show that pulses designed by optimization can be used to counteract the loss of fidelity due to a control amplitude error of the transmon qubit. We analyze the control landscape obtained by robust optimal control and find it to depend on the error range. The controls are tested on the IBMQ's qubit and found to demonstrate resilience against significant $sim 10%$ errors.

• Abstract: In the era of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum computing as well as in error correcting circuits, physical qubits coherence time and high fidelity gates are essential to the functioning of quantum computers. In this paper, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally, that pulses designed by optimization can be used to counteract the loss of fidelity due to a control amplitude error of the transmon qubit. We analyze the control landscape obtained by robust optimal control and find it to depend on the error range, namely the solutions can get trapped in the basin of attraction of sub-optimal solutions. Robust controls are found for different error values and are compared to an incoherent loss of fidelity mechanism due to a finite relaxation rate. The controls are tested on the IBMQ's qubit and found to demonstrate resilience against significant $\sim 10\%$ errors.

  We use the Pontryagin's maximum principle (PMP) to solve the time and pulse-area optimization problems. We find that short-CORPSE is a probable candidate of the time optimal solution according to the PMP. We evaluate the performance of the pulse-area optimal robust control and the short-CORPSE, comparing with that of the direct operation.

  We investigate the underlying robust time-optimal control problem so as to make the best balance. Based on the Taylor expansion of the system's unitary propagator, we formulate the design problem as the optimal control of an augmented finite-dimensional system. Numerical simulations for single-qubit systems show that the obtained time-optimal control pulses can effectively suppress gate errors.

  Defects in solid state materials provide an ideal platform for quantum sensing. Control of such an ensemble is challenging due to the spatial variation in both the defect energy levels and in any control field across a macroscopic sample. We experimentally demonstrate that we can overcome these challenges using Floquet theory and optimal control optimization methods.

• Crosstalk Suppression for Fault-tolerant Quantum Error Correction with Trapped Ions [62.997667081978825]
  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.

  We show that a set of neural networks can face the challenge of finding a good approximation of the integrand. We derive a theoretically optimal, variance-minimizing loss function, and propose an alternative, composite loss for stable online training in practice. Specifically, we show that the learned light-field approximation is of sufficient quality for high-order bounces, allowing us to omit the error correction and thereby dramatically reduce the noise at the cost of negligible visible bias.
