Publication number: 20250005412Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for calibrating a quantum operation. Layers of two qubit gates that operate in parallel are defined. A gate length for each two qubit gate in a layer of the defined layers is calibrated to correspond to the same gate length, such as the gate length of the two qubit gate in that layer with the slowest operation speed. A portion of the quantum operation is performed by the two qubit gates in the layer with the calibrated gate length. In this manner, two qubit gates that operate in parallel are effectively calibrated in a manner that results in better gate fidelities, fewer frequency collisions and fewer undesirable transitions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: Youngseok Kim, Xuan Wei, Isaac Lauer, Abhinav Kandala

Patent number: 12147300Abstract: Techniques for using stark tone pulses to mitigate cross-resonance collision in qubits are presented. A tone management component can control application of pulses to qubits by a tone generator component to mitigate undesirable frequency collisions between qubits. The tone generator component (TGC) can apply an off-resonant tone pulse to a qubit during a gate to induce a stark shift. TGC can apply a cross-resonance tone pulse to a control qubit at a frequency associated with the qubit, wherein the frequency can be stark shifted based on the off-resonant tone pulse. The qubit can be a target qubit, the control qubit itself, or a spectator qubit that can be coupled to the target qubit or the control qubit. The gate can be a cross-resonance gate, a two-qubit gate, or a measurement gate that can utilize an echo sequence, a target rotary, or active cancellation.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Isaac Lauer, Neereja Sundaresan, Emily Pritchett
