Qubit control electronics composed of CMOS circuits are of critical interest for next generation quantum computing systems. A CMOS–based application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) fabricated in 14nm FinFET technology was used to generate and sequence qubit control waveforms and demonstrate a two–qubit cross resonance gate between fixed frequency transmons. The controller was thermally anchored to the T = 4K stage of a dilution refrigerator and the measured power was 23 mW per qubit under active control. The chip generated single–side banded output frequencies between 4.5 and 5.5 GHz with a maximum power output of -18 dBm. Randomized benchmarking (RB) experiments revealed an average number of 1.71 instructions per Clifford (IPC) for single–qubit gates, and 17.51 IPC for two–qubit gates. A single–qubit error per gate of є1Q=8e-4 and two–qubit error per gate of є2Q=1.4e-2 is shown. A drive–induced Z–rotation is observed by way of a rotary echo experiment; this observation is consistent with expected qubit behavior given measured excess local oscillator (LO) leakage from the CMOS chip. The effect of spurious drive induced Z–errors is numerically evaluated with a two–qubit model Hamiltonian, and shown to be in good agreement with measured RB data. The modeling results suggest the Z–error varies linearly with pulse amplitude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
