Characterizing charge-parity detection based on an offset-charge-tunable transmon qubit via randomized benchmarking

Superconducting qubits are compelling platforms for charge-parity detection and, due to their theoretical sensitivity on the meV energy scale, hold promise for rare event searches. In this work, we realize high-fidelity mapping of charge-parity states onto qubit states using an offset-charge-tunable transmon qubit and efficiently characterize the fidelity of the charge-parity detection via randomized benchmarking. Specifically, a gate control line is applied to control offset charge, allowing us to achieve the single-qubit gate fidelity up to 99.96%. We combine a net-zero-based pulse on the gate line with a spin-echo-based sequence to realize charge-parity mapping, achieving a fidelity of 99.37%. Then, we demonstrate continuous monitoring of the charge-parity state with over 93.4% fidelity at a 4-\mu s sampling interval. Finally, an error analysis of charge-parity detection is performed, and it is found that qubit readout is currently the largest source of error. We believe this work lays the foundation for future exploration of ultra-low energy particles.

Realization of high-fidelity perfect entangler between remote superconducting quantum processors

Superconducting qubits, a promising candidate for universal quantum computing, currently face limitations in chip size due to reproducibility, wiring complexity, and packaging modes. Distributed quantum modules offer a viable strategy for constructing larger quantum information processing systems, though universal quantum gate operations between remote qubits have yet to be realized. Here, we demonstrate high-fidelity perfect entanglers between two remote superconducting quantum devices over 30 cm distance, leveraging the standing-wave modes in the coaxial cable connecting them. We achieve cross-entropy benchmarking (XEB) fidelities of $(99.15 \pm 0.02)\%$ and $(98.04 \pm 0.04)\%$ for CNOT and CZ gates, respectively, which are more efficient and universal than existing state transfer or feedback-based protocols. This advancement significantly enhances the feasibility of universal distributed quantum information processing, essential for the future development of large-scale quantum systems.

Cosmic-ray-induced correlated errors in superconducting qubit array

Correlated errors may devastate quantum error corrections that are necessary for the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computation. Recent experiments with superconducting qubits indicate that they can arise from quasiparticle (QP) bursts induced by cosmic-ray muons and {\gamma}-rays. Here, we use charge-parity jump and bit flip for monitoring QP bursts and two muon detectors in the dilution refrigerator for detecting muon events. We directly observe QP bursts leading to correlated errors that are induced solely by muons and separate the contributions of muons and {\gamma}-rays. We further investigate the dynamical process of QP burst and the impact of QP trapping on correlated errors and particle detection. The proposed method, which monitors multiqubit simultaneous charge-parity jumps, has high sensitivity to QP burst and may find applications for the detection of cosmic-ray particles, low-mass dark matter, and far-infrared photons.

Observation of dynamical quantum phase transition by a superconducting qubit simulation

A dynamical quantum phase transition can occur during time evolution of sudden quenched quantum systems across a phase transition. It corresponds to the nonanalytic behavior at a critical time of the rate function of the quantum state return amplitude, analogous to nonanalyticity of the free energy density at the critical temperature in macroscopic systems. A variety of many-body systems can be represented in momentum space as a spin-1/2 state evolving on the Bloch sphere, where each momentum mode is decoupled and thus can be simulated independently by a single qubit. Here, we report the observation of a dynamical quantum phase transition in a superconducting qubit simulation of the quantum quench dynamics of many-body systems. We take the Ising model with a transverse field as an example for demonstration. In our experiment, the spin state, which is initially polarized longitudinally, evolves based on a Hamiltonian with adjustable parameters depending on the momentum and strength of the transverse magnetic field. The time evolving quantum state is read out by state tomography. Evidence of dynamical quantum phase transitions, such as paths of time evolution states on the Bloch sphere, non-analytic behavior of the dynamical free energy and the emergence of Skyrmion lattice in momentum-time space, is observed. The experimental data agrees well with theoretical and numerical calculations. The experiment demonstrates for the first time explicitly the topological invariant, both topologically trivial and non-trivial, for dynamical quantum phase transitions. Our results show that the quantum phase transitions of this class of many-body systems can be simulated successfully with a single qubit by varying certain control parameters over the corresponding momentum range.

Demonstration of irreversibility and dissipation relation of thermodynamics with a superconducting qubit

We investigate experimentally the relation between thermodynamical irreversibility and dissipation on a superconducting Xmon qubit. This relation also implies the second law and the Landauer principle on dissipation in the irreversible computations. In our experiment, the qubit is initialized to states according to Gibbs distribution. Work injection and extraction processes are conducted through two kinds of unitary driving protocols, for both a forward process and its corresponding mirror reverses. Relative entropy and relative Re'nyi entropy are employed to measure the asymmetry between paired forward and backward work injection or extraction processes. We show experimentally that relative entropy and relative Re'nyi entropy measured irreversibility are related to the average of work dissipation and average of exponentiated work dissipation respectively. Our work provides solid experimental support for the theory of quantum thermodynamics.
