Two-Qubit Spectroscopy of Spatiotemporally Correlated Quantum Noise in Superconducting Qubits
PRX QUANTUM(2020)
Abstract
Noise that exhibits significant temporal and spatial correlations across multiple qubits can be especially harmful to both fault-tolerant quantum computation and quantum-enhanced metrology. However, a complete spectral characterization of the noise environment of even a two-qubit system has not been reported thus far. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a protocol for two-qubit dephasing noise spectroscopy based on continuous-control modulation. By combining ideas from spin-locking relaxometry with a statistically motivated robust estimation approach, our protocol allows for the simultaneous reconstruction of all the single-qubit and two-qubit cross-correlation spectra, including access to their distinctive nonclassical features. Only single-qubit control manipulations and state-tomography measurements are employed, with no need for entangled-state preparation or readout of two-qubit observables. While our experimental demonstration uses two superconducting qubits coupled to a shared, colored engineered noise source, our methodology is portable to a variety of dephasing-dominated qubit architectures. By pushing quantum noise spectroscopy beyond the single-qubit setting, our work heralds the characterization of spatiotemporal correlations in both engineered and naturally occurring noise environments.
