Abstract:
Electron spin qubits are a promising platform for scalable quantum processors due to their
long coherence time and the compatibility with semiconductor industrial processes. To achieve
a large scale quantum processor, quantum error correction needs to be implemented and this
requires the quantum gate fidelities of the processor to be above a certain fault-tolerant
threshold. By obtaining a detailed understanding of our quantum gates we can use this
knowledge to improve the gate fidelity. In this work we demonstrate a simple yet reliable
calibration procedure for a high-fidelity controlled-rotation gate in an exchange-always-on
Silicon quantum processor, allowing operation above the fault-tolerance threshold of quantum
error correction. We find that the fidelity of our uncalibrated controlled-rotation gate is limited
by coherent errors in the form of controlled-phases due to an off-resonant driving. We present
a method to measure and compensate for the effect of these phase errors to improve our gate
fidelity. We then evaluate the improved gate fidelities by randomized benchmark and gate-set
tomography protocols. The experimental results are compared with gate-set-tomography
results with simulated data. The simulated data matches well with the experimental one,
indicating the error measured in experiment is the error we assumed in our simulation. Finally,
we use our phase compensation protocol to implement a virtual, high-fidelity controlled-phase
gate.
