Capacitively Shunted Double-Transmon Coupler Realizing Bias-Free Idling and High-Fidelity CZ Gate
arXiv:2503.03053 · doi:10.1103/l8tq-7sb3
Abstract
A high-fidelity CZ gate utilizing a double-transmon coupler (DTC) has recently been demonstrated as a building block for superconducting quantum processors. Like many other kinds of tunable couplers, however, the DTC requires a finite DC current for flux-biasing the coupler at the idling point to turn off the coupling, necessitating extra care for wiring and heat-load management. To address this issue, we theoretically propose and experimentally realize a novel coupling scheme by introducing a shunt capacitance between the two transmons of the DTC at zero-flux bias, which demonstrates high-fidelity CZ-gate performance comparable to the previous DTC. Through a comprehensive error budget analysis using multiple randomized benchmarking methods, we also identify that the current fidelity is limited by the decoherence through the coupler. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate the wide operational flux range of the capacitively shunted DTC, which solves the challenging issue of remnant flux existing even with careful magnetic shielding.
