Real-Time Closed-Loop Feedback for Active Noise Canceling in Superconducting Qubits

Exclusively Licensed

A closed-loop feedback system and method of active noise cancellation to maintain a desired operating frequency of a qubit during a quantum computation, even when that frequency is relatively sensitive to flux noise. A series of Ramsey experiments is performed on the qubit to estimate an offset between its actual and desired operating frequencies, and the error is accumulated. After the probing is complete, the accumulated error is supplied to an arbitrary waveform generator that produces a magnetic flux that is coupled to the qubit, thereby tuning the qubit and actively controlling its operating frequency. Having corrected the operating frequency of the qubit and extended its coherence time, the quantum state of the qubit is allowed to evolve according to the computation.
