Fast Control Methods Enable Record-Setting Fidelity in Superconducting Qubit
Fast Control Methods Enable Record-Setting Fidelity in Superconducting Qubit
In new work, using a superconducting qubit called fluxonium, MIT researchers in the Department of Physics, the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE), and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) developed two new control techniques to achieve a world-record single-qubit fidelity of 99.998 percent. This result complements then-MIT researcher Leon Ding’s demonstration last year of a 99.92 percent two-qubit gate fidelity.
