Quantum adiabatic transfer is widely used in quantum computation and quantum simulation. However, the transfer speed is limited by the quantum adiabatic approximation condition, which
hinders its application in quantum systems with a short decoherence time. Here we demonstrate quantum adiabatic state transfers that jump along geodesics in one-qubit and two-qubit superconducting transmons. This approach possesses the advantages of speed, robustness, and high fidelity compared with the usual adiabatic process. Our protocol provides feasible strategies for improving state manipulation and gate operation in superconducting quantum circuits.

Based on the geometrical nature of quantum phases, non-adiabatic holonomic quantum control (NHQC) has become a standard technique for enhancing robustness in constructing quantum gates.
However, the conventional approach of NHQC is sensitive to control instability, as it requires the driving pulses to cover a fixed pulse area. Furthermore, even for small-angle rotations, all operations need to be completed with the same duration of time. Here we experimentally demonstrate a time-optimal and unconventional approach of NHQC (called TOUNHQC), which can optimize the operation time of any holonomic gate. Compared with the conventional approach, TOUNHQC provides an extra layer of robustness to decoherence and control errors. The experiment involves a scalable architecture of superconducting circuit, where we achieved a fidelity of 99.51% for a single qubit gate using interleaved randomized benchmarking. Moreover, a two-qubit holonomic control-phase gate has been implemented where the gate error can be reduced by as much as 18% compared with NHQC.

We propose a protocol to realize parametric control of two-qubit coupling, where the amplitude and phase are tuned by a longitudinal field. Based on the tunable Hamiltonian, we demonstrate
the superadiabatic two-qubit quantum gate using superconducting quantum circuits. Our experimental results show that the state of qubits evolves adiabatically during the gate operation even though the processing time is close to the quantum limit. In addition, the quantum state transition is insensitive to the variation of control parameters, and the fidelity of a SWAP gate achieved 98.5%. This robust parametric two-qubit gate can alleviate the tension of frequency crowding for quantum computation with multiple qubits.
