• Abstract: Dynamical decoupling (DD) helps maintain high-fidelity quantum computations by suppressing dephasing noise through carefully timed refocusing pulses. In quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) architectures, however, where ions are shuttled throughout the device, transport constrains when pulses can be applied and affects the phase accumulated by an ion. Conventional DD methods do not account for shuttling and may therefore schedule pulses that must be omitted or shifted after transport scheduling, weakening the protection from dephasing. We therefore introduce shuttling-aware dynamical decoupling (SADD), an offline compiler pass that jointly selects refocusing pulses and local ion rerouting while preserving logical-gate timings and the total schedule length. In benchmark simulations, SADD improves average final-state fidelity over both the original schedules and a simple nearest-feasible Hahn-echo baseline when dephasing dominates control and transport errors and varies slowly enough for DD. Rerouting enables otherwise infeasible pulse timings, while spatial information about the noise can provide further gains. These benefits disappear, however, when the added transport introduces too much error. Overall, our results show that coordinating DD with ion transport is an effective compiler strategy for reducing dephasing in QCCD processors.

• Efficacy of noisy dynamical decoupling [0.0]
  Dynamical decoupling (DD) refers to a well-established family of methods for error mitigation in quantum systems. In the presence of noisy pulses, DD does not always mitigate errors. It does so only when the added noise from the DD pulses do not outweigh the increased ability in averaging away the original background noise.
