Abstract
The development of quantum computers based on superconductors requires the improvement of the qubit state control approach aimed at the increase of the hardware energy efficiency. A promising solution to this problem is the use of superconducting digital circuits operating with single-flux-quantum (SFQ) pulses, moving the qubit control system into the cold chamber. However, the qubit gate time under SFQ control is still longer than under conventional microwave driving. Here we introduce the bipolar SFQ pulse control based on ternary pulse sequences. We also develop a robust optimization algorithm for finding a sequence structure that minimizes the leakage of the transmon qubit state from the computational subspace. We show that the appropriate sequence can be found for arbitrary system parameters from the practical range. The proposed bipolar SFQ control reduces a single qubit gate time by halve compared to nowadays unipolar SFQ technique, while maintaining the gate fidelity over 99.99%.
