• Abstract: In weakly anharmonic qubits, coherent control errors take two generic forms -- over/under-rotation and phase errors -- whose suppression normally requires iterated experiments. We show that, for any symmetric $π/2$ pulse in the weak-driving regime, both follow from a single parametrization, $\mathcal{X}(π/2)=Z(δ)X(π/2+ε)Z(δ)$, that ties the rotation error $ε$ and the phase error $δ$ directly to the system parameters. The parametrization enables DRAPE, a Ramsey-type protocol in which sweeping the phase-error correction reveals a crossing point that fixes both corrections at once. The phase correction is estimated with Heisenberg scaling while the rotation error saturates the standard quantum limit. We experimentally demonstrate DRAPE by calibrating a $π/2$ gate on the $|1\rangle\leftrightarrow |2\rangle$ transition of an IBM transmon, reducing the over-rotation from $0.997^\circ$ to $-0.007^\circ$ and the phase error from $2.52^\circ$ to $0.0052^\circ$ per gate, validated independently by phase- and rotation-error amplification protocols.

  We show that a "dual-rail qubit" consisting of a pair of resonantly coupled transmons can form a highly coherent erasure qubit. We demonstrate mid-circuit detection of erasure errors while introducing $ 0.1%$ dephasing error per check. This work establishes transmon-based dual-rail qubits as an attractive building block for hardware-efficient quantum error correction.

• Coherent error threshold for surface codes from Majorana delocalization [0.0]
  Existing mappings assume incoherent noise, thus ignoring coherent errors due to spurious gate rotations. We map the surface code with coherent errors, taken as $X$- or $Z$-rotations (trivial bit or phase), to a two-dimensional (2D) Ising model with complex couplings, and further to a 2D Majorana scattering network. For both, the error-correcting phase maps explicitly show by linking 2D networks to 1D fermions, to a $mathbbZ$-trivial 2D insulator.

• Characterization of Errors in Interferometry with Entangled Atoms [0.0]
  We study the effects of error sources that may limit the sensitivity of atom interferometry devices. Errors include errors in the preparation of the initial entangled state, imperfections in the laser pulses, momentum spread of the initial atomic wave packet, measurement errors, spontaneous emission, and atom loss. Based on the performed analysis, entanglement-enhanced atom interferometry appears to be feasible with existing experimental capabilities.
