In recent years, the tunable coupling scheme has become the mainstream scheme for designing superconducting quan tum circuits. By working in the dispersive regime, the ZZ coupling and
high-energy level leakage can be effectively suppressed and realize a high fidelity quantum gate. We propose a tunable fluxonium-transmon-transmon (FTT) cou pling scheme. In our system, the coupler is a frequency tunable transmon qubit. Both qubits and coupler are capacitively coupled. The asymmetric structure composed of fluxonium and transmon will optimize the frequency space and form a high fidelity two-qubit quantum gate. By decoupling, the effective coupling strength can be easily adjusted to close to the net coupling between qubits. We numerical simulation the master equation to reduce the quantum noise to zero. We study the performance of this scheme by simulating the general single-qubit X{\pi}/2 gate and two-qubit (iSWAP) gate. In the bias point of the qubits, we achieve a single qubit gate with 99.99% fidelity and a two-qubit gate with 99.95% fidelity. By adjusting the nonlinear Kerr coefficient of fluxonium to an appropriate value, we can achieve a multi-body entanglement state. We consider the correlation between the two qubits and the coupler, and the magnetic flux passing through one qubit has an effect on the other qubit and the coupler. Finally, we analyze the quantum correlation of the two-body entanglement state.
