• Abstract: We characterize the coherence of a triangular exchange-only (EO) spin qubit operated at a leakage-protected idle (LPI) point. The triangular geometry enables independent control of all three pairwise exchange interactions, and the LPI condition occurs when these couplings are turned on simultaneously and tuned to equal strength. In this configuration, the exchange interaction induces an energy gap $E_g = 3J/2$ that suppresses leakage from the computational subspace while leaving the qubit state unaffected. We develop procedures to calibrate the LPI point and measure $E_g$, and use these to characterize the qubit dephasing time over a broad range of gap energies. While operating with large always-on exchange couplings exposes the qubit to charge noise, we find that $\tilde{T}_2^*$ still exceeds that of conventional exchange-only spin qubits for $E_g/h < 60$ MHz. The precise control of simultaneous, all-to-all connected exchange demonstrated here presents a natural path towards improving the performance of EO qubits and also enables novel qubit encodings.

We then introduce a new protocol to realize a hybrid controlled-SWAP operation in the regime $g_bsapproxchi$, in which a transmon provides the control bit for the SWAP of two bosonic modes.

  We study how dissipation and gate timing errors affect the fidelity of a sequence of SWAP gates on a chain of interacting qubits. We find that dissipation decreases the fidelity of the SWAP operation. We find that gate timing error creates an effective optimal value of $J_textSWAP$, beyond which infidelity begins to increase.
