Methods and Results for Quantum Optimal Pulse Control on Superconducting Qubit Systems

Understand

The effective use of current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices is often limited by the noise which is caused by interaction with the environment and affects the fidelity of quantum gates.

• In transmon qubit systems, the quantum gate fidelity can be improved by applying control pulses that can minimize the effects of the environmental noise.
• In this work, we employ physics-guided quantum optimal control strategies to design optimal pulses driving quantum gates on superconducting qubit systems.
• We test our results by conducting experiments on the IBM Q hardware using their OpenPulse API.
