Accelerating adiabatic protocols for entangling two qubits in circuit QED

Abstract

We introduce a method to speed up adiabatic protocols for creating entanglement between two qubits dispersively coupled to a transmission line, while keeping fidelities high and maintaining robustness to control errors. The method takes genuinely adiabatic sweeps, ranging from a simple Landau-Zener drive to boundary cancellation methods and local adiabatic drivings, and adds fast oscillations to speed up the protocol while canceling unwanted transitions. We compare our protocol with existing adiabatic methods in a state-of-the-art parameter range and show substantial gains. Numerical simulations emphasize that this strategy is efficient also beyond the rotating-wave approximation and that the method is robust against random static biases in the control parameters and with respect to damping and decoherence effects.
