Abstract We improve the quality of quantum circuits on superconducting computing systems, as measured by volume (QV), with a combination dynamical decoupling, compiler optimizations, shorter two-qubit gates, and excited state promoted readout. This result shows that path to larger QV systems requires simultaneous increase coherence, control gate fidelities, measurement smarter software which takes into account hardware details, thereby demonstrating need continue co-design stack for...

The resonator-induced phase (RIP) gate is an all-microwave multiqubit entangling that allows a high degree of flexibility in qubit frequencies, making it attractive for quantum operations large-scale architectures. We experimentally realize the RIP with four superconducting qubits three-dimensional circuit-QED architecture, demonstrating high-fidelity controlled-z (cz) gates between all possible pairs from two different 4-qubit devices pair subspaces. These are arranged within wide range...

Scaling the number of qubits while maintaining high-fidelity quantum gates remains a key challenge for computing. Presently, superconducting processors with >50 are actively available. For these systems, fixed-frequency transmons attractive because their long coherence and noise immunity. However, scaling architectures proves challenging precise relative frequency requirements.

Following application of a dc bias, plateaus QPC shift symmetrically about half filling lowest Landau level, ν=1/2, suggesting an interpretation terms composite fermions.

Superconducting qubit lifetimes must be both long and stable to provide an adequate foundation for quantum computing. This stability is imperiled by two-level systems (TLSs), currently a dominant loss mechanism, which exhibit slow spectral dynamics that destabilize on hour timescales. Stability also threatened at millisecond timescales, where ionizing radiation has recently been found cause bursts of correlated multi-qubit decays, complicating error correction. Here we study TLS 27-qubit...
