Crosstalk Suppression in Individually Addressed Two-Qubit Gates in a Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer

Abstract

Crosstalk between target and neighboring spectator qubits due to spillover of control signals represents a major error source limiting the fidelity of two-qubit entangling gates in quantum computers. We show that in our laser-driven trapped-ion system coherent crosstalk error can be modelled as residual $X{\hat{\sigma }}_{\varphi }$ interaction and can be actively cancelled by single-qubit echoing pulses. We propose and demonstrate a crosstalk suppression scheme that eliminates all first-order crosstalk, yet only requires local control by driving rotations solely on the target qubits. We report a two-qubit Bell state fidelity of $99.52(6)\%$ with the echoing pulses applied after collective gates and $99.37(5)\%$ with the echoing pulses applied to each gate in a 5-ion chain. This scheme is widely applicable to other platforms with analogous interaction Hamiltonians.
