• Abstract: High-fidelity universal two-qubit gates are critical for building fault-tolerant quantum computers. In scalable superconducting processors, shortened coherence times introduce more incoherent errors in gate operations. With a constrained error budget, there is reduced tolerance for coherent errors stemming from parameter deviations. In this work, we develop a closed-loop workflow to enhance the CZ gate calibration precision. Utilizing the echoed leakage error amplification (ELEA) and the repurposed context-aware fidelity estimation (CAFE) circuits, we suppress the population leakage to non-computational states, and, for the first time, demonstrate a CZ gate fidelity exceeding $99.9\%$ on an 84-qubit processor, with coherent error suppressed to $0.007\%$. Meanwhile, we obtain a median fidelity of $99.25\%$ among 72 CZ gates, demonstrating that the workflow can be generalized to the calibration of parallel CZ gates. Finally, we realize automated calibration and observe enhanced stability of the CZ gate throughout 9-hour comparative monitoring experiments. Our results, realized on a completely domestic platform, establish an efficient and automated route to quantum computation with superconducting quantum systems.

  Qubits encoded in a decoherence-free subsystem and realized in exchange-coupled silicon quantum dots are promising candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Key difficulties are that encoded entangling gates require a large number of control pulses and high-yielding quantum dot arrays. Here we show a device made using the single-layer etch-defined gate architecture that achieves both the required functional yield needed for full control and the coherence necessary for thousands of exchange pulses to be applied.
