Demonstration of Fidelity Improvement Using Dynamical Decoupling with Superconducting Qubits
Open accessAbstract
Quantum computers must be able to function in the presence of decoherence. The simplest strategy for decoherence reduction is dynamical decoupling (DD), which requires no encoding overhead and works by converting quantum gates into decoupling pulses. Here, using the IBM and Rigetti platforms, we demonstrate that the DD method is suitable for implementation in today's relatively noisy and small-scale cloud-based quantum computers. Using DD, we achieve substantial fidelity gains relative to unprotected, free evolution of individual superconducting transmon qubits. To a lesser degree, DD is also capable of protecting entangled two-qubit states. We show that dephasing and spontaneous emission errors are dominant in these systems, and that different DD sequences are capable of mitigating both effects. Unlike previous work demonstrating the use of quantum error correcting codes on the same platforms, we make no use of postselection and hence report unconditional fidelity improvements against natural decoherence.

Dynamical decoupling experiments on the 16-qubit IBMQX5, 5-qubit IBMQX4, and 19-qubit Rigetti Acorn chips demonstrated gain in substantial gate fidelity relative to unprotected free evolution of individual transmon qubits.
“Recently, DD experiments were performed on the 16-qubit IBMQX5, 5-qubit IBMQX4, and the 19-qubit Rigetti Acorn chips (Pokharel et al. , 2018), where the gain in substantial gate fidelity relative to unprotected, free evolution of individual transmon qubits was demonstrated.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
