Error Sources of Quantum Gates in Superconducting Qubits
As transmon based superconducting qubit architectures are one of the most promising candidates for the realization of large-scale quantum computation, it is crucial to know what are the main sources of the error in the implemented quantum gates. In this work we make a realistic assessment of the contributions of physical error sources to the infidelities of both single and two-qubit gates, where we focus on the non-adiabatic implementation of the CZ gate with tunable couplers. We consider all relevant noise sources, including non-Markovian noise, electronics imperfections and the effect of tunable couplers to the error of the computation. Furthermore, we provide a learning based framework that allows to extract the contribution of each noise source to the infidelity of a series of gates with a small number of experimental measurements.
