Abstract
High-fidelity parametric gates have been demonstrated with superconducting qubits via rf flux modulation of the qubit frequency. The modulation however leads to renormalization of the bare qubit-qubit coupling, thereby reducing the gate speed. Here, we realize a parametric-resonance gate, which is activated by bringing the average frequency of the modulated qubit in resonance with a static-frequency qubit while approximately retaining the bare qubit-qubit coupling. The activation of parametric-resonance gates does not depend on the frequency of modulation, allowing us to choose the modulation frequencies and avoid frequency collisions. Moreover, we show that this approach is compatible with tunable coupler architectures, which reduce always-on residual couplings. Using these techniques, we demonstrate iSWAP and controlled-Z gates between two qubits coupled via a tunable coupler with average process fidelities as high as 99.3% and 97.9%, respectively. The flexibility in activating parametric-resonance gates combined with a tunable coupler architecture provides a pathway for building large-scale quantum computers.
