Inertial Counterdiabatic Driving

Julián Ferreiro-Vélez, F. A. Cárdenas-López, F. Motzoi +1

We introduce an inertial counterdiabatic (CD) protocol that reformulates shortcut-to-adiabaticity design as a moving-frame diagonalization problem. The method employs the Magnus ex…

Analytical blueprint for 99.999% fidelity X-gates on present superconducting hardware under strong driving

José Diogo Da Costa Jesus, Boxi Li, Yuan Gao +3

Achieving very fast gates that undercut the natural limits set by decoherence requires going into the strong driving limit. Realizing single-qubit control predicted beyond semi-cla…

Ultrafast Single Qubit Gates through Multi-Photon Transition Removal

Y. Gao, A. Galicia, J. D. Da Costa Jesus +12

One of the main enablers in quantum computing is having qubit control that is precise and fast. However, qubits typically have multilevel structures making them prone to unwanted t…

Gradients, parallelism, and variance of quantum estimates

Francesco Preti, Michael Schilling, József Zsolt Bernád +3

Computation of observables and their gradients on near-term quantum hardware is a central aspect of any quantum algorithm. In this work, we first review standard approaches to the…

Real-time adaptive quantum error correction by model-free multi-agent learning

Manuel Guatto, Francesco Preti, Michael Schilling +3

Quantum error correction (QEC) is essential for scalable quantum computing, yet existing approaches rely on static assumptions about noise that break down in realistic hardware, wh…
