Geometric phase is an indispensable element for achieving robust and high-fidelity quantum gates due to its built-in noise-resilience feature. However, due to the complexity of manipulation and the intrinsic leakage of the encoded quantum information to non-logical-qubit basis, the experimental realization of universal nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation is very difficult. Here, we propose to implement scalable nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation with decoherence-free subspace encoding on a two-dimensional square superconducting transmon-qubit lattice, where only the two-body interaction of neighbouring qubits, from the simplest capacitive coupling, is needed. Meanwhile, we introduce qubit-frequency driving to achieve tunable resonant coupling for the neighbouring transmon qubits, and thus avoiding the leakage problem. In addition, our presented numerical simulation shows that high-fidelity quantum gates can be obtained, verifying the advantages of the robustness and scalability of our scheme. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising way towards the physical implementation of robust and scalable quantum computation.
Quantum computation based on nonadiabatic geometric phases has attracted a broad range of interests, due to its fast manipulation and inherent noise resistance. However, it is limited to some special evolution paths, and the gate-times are typically longer than conventional dynamical gates, resulting in weakening of robustness and more infidelities of the implemented geometric gates. Here, we propose a path-optimized scheme for geometric quantum computation (GQC) on superconducting transmon qubits, where high-fidelity and robust universal nonadiabatic geometric gates can be implemented, based on conventional experimental setups. Specifically, we find that, by selecting appropriate evolution paths, the constructed geometric gates can be superior to their corresponding dynamical ones under different local errors. Numerical simulations show that the fidelities for single-qubit geometric phase, π/8 and Hadamard gates can be obtained as 99.93%, 99.95% and 99.95%, respectively. Remarkably, the fidelity for two-qubit control-phase gate can be as high as 99.87%. Therefore, our scheme provides a new perspective for GQC, making it more promising in the application of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation.
Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation is dedicated to the realization of high‐fidelity and robust quantum gates, which are necessary for fault‐tolerant quantum computation. However, it is limited by cyclic and mutative evolution path, which usually requires longer gate‐time and abrupt pulse control, weakening the gate performance. Here, a scheme to realize geometric quantum gates with noncyclic and nonadiabatic evolution via invariant‐based shortcuts is proposed, where universal quantum gates can be induced in one step without path mutation and the gate time is also effectively shortened. Our numerical simulations show that, comparing with the conventional dynamical gates, the constructed geometric gates have stronger resistance not only to systematic errors, induced by both qubit‐frequency drift and the deviation of the amplitude of the driving fields, but also to environment‐induced decoherence effect. In addition, this scheme can also be implemented on a superconducting circuit platform, with the fidelities of single‐qubit and two‐qubit gates higher than 99.97% and 99.84%, respectively. Therefore, this scheme provides a promising way to realize high‐fidelity fault‐tolerant quantum gates for scalable quantum computation.
