Model components

The model consists of two qubits with 3 levels each and slightly different parameters:

qubit_lvls = 3
freq_q1 = 5e9
anhar_q1 = -210e6
t1_q1 = 27e-6
t2star_q1 = 39e-6
qubit_temp = 50e-3

q1 = chip.Qubit(
    name="Q1",
    desc="Qubit 1",
    freq=Qty(value=freq_q1, min_val=4.995e9, max_val=5.005e9, unit='Hz 2pi'),
    anhar=Qty(value=anhar_q1, min_val=-380e6, max_val=-120e6, unit='Hz 2pi'),
    hilbert_dim=qubit_lvls,
    t1=Qty(value=t1_q1, min_val=1e-6, max_val=90e-6, unit='s'),
    t2star=Qty(value=t2star_q1, min_val=10e-6, max_val=90e-3, unit='s'),
    temp=Qty(value=qubit_temp, min_val=0.0, max_val=0.12, unit='K')
)

freq_q2 = 5.6e9
anhar_q2 = -240e6
t1_q2 = 23e-6
t2star_q2 = 31e-6
q2 = chip.Qubit(
    name="Q2",
    desc="Qubit 2",
    freq=Qty(value=freq_q2, min_val=5.595e9, max_val=5.605e9, unit='Hz 2pi'),
    anhar=Qty(value=anhar_q2, min_val=-380e6, max_val=-120e6, unit='Hz 2pi'),
    hilbert_dim=qubit_lvls,
    t1=Qty(value=t1_q2, min_val=1e-6, max_val=90e-6,unit='s'),
    t2star=Qty(value=t2star_q2, min_val=10e-6, max_val=90e-6, unit='s'),
    temp=Qty(value=qubit_temp, min_val=0.0, max_val=0.12, unit='K')
)

There is a static coupling in x-direction between them: \((b_1+b_1^\dagger)(b_2+b_2^\dagger)\)

coupling_strength = 50e6
q1q2 = chip.Coupling(
    name="Q1-Q2",
    desc="coupling",
    comment="Coupling qubit 1 to qubit 2",
    connected=["Q1", "Q2"],
    strength=Qty(
        value=coupling_strength,
        min_val=-1 * 1e3 ,
        max_val=200e6 ,
        unit='Hz 2pi'
    ),
    hamiltonian_func=hamiltonians.int_XX
)

and each qubit has a drive line

drive1 = chip.Drive(
    name="d1",
    desc="Drive 1",
    comment="Drive line 1 on qubit 1",
    connected=["Q1"],
    hamiltonian_func=hamiltonians.x_drive
)
drive2 = chip.Drive(
    name="d2",
    desc="Drive 2",
    comment="Drive line 2 on qubit 2",
    connected=["Q2"],
    hamiltonian_func=hamiltonians.x_drive
)

All parts are collected in the model. The initial state will be thermal at a non-vanishing temperature.

init_temp = 50e-3
init_ground = tasks.InitialiseGround(
    init_temp=Qty(value=init_temp, min_val=-0.001, max_val=0.22, unit='K')
)

model = Mdl(
    [q1, q2], # Individual, self-contained components
    [drive1, drive2, q1q2],  # Interactions between components
    [init_ground] # SPAM processing
)
model.set_lindbladian(False)
model.set_dressed(True)

Control signals

The devices for the control line are set up

sim_res = 100e9 # Resolution for numerical simulation
awg_res = 2e9 # Realistic, limited resolution of an AWG
v2hz = 1e9

lo = devices.LO(name='lo', resolution=sim_res)
awg = devices.AWG(name='awg', resolution=awg_res)
mixer = devices.Mixer(name='mixer')
resp = devices.Response(
    name='resp',
    rise_time=Qty(value=0.3e-9, min_val=0.05e-9, max_val=0.6e-9, unit='s'),
    resolution=sim_res
)
dig_to_an = devices.DigitalToAnalog(name="dac", resolution=sim_res)
v_to_hz = devices.VoltsToHertz(
    name='v_to_hz',
    V_to_Hz=Qty(value=v2hz, min_val=0.9e9, max_val=1.1e9, unit='Hz/V')
)

The generator combines the parts of the signal generation and assignes a signal chain to each control line.

generator = Gnr(
        devices={
            "LO": lo,
            "AWG": awg,
            "DigitalToAnalog": dig_to_an,
            "Response": resp,
            "Mixer": mixer,
            "VoltsToHertz": v_to_hz
        },
        chains={
            "d1": ["LO", "AWG", "DigitalToAnalog", "Response", "Mixer", "VoltsToHertz"],
            "d2": ["LO", "AWG", "DigitalToAnalog", "Response", "Mixer", "VoltsToHertz"]
        }
    )

Gates-set and Parameter map

Following a general cross resonance scheme, both qubits will be resonantly driven at the frequency of qubit 2 with a Gaussian envelope. We drive qubit 1 (the control) at the frequency of qubit 2 (the target) with a higher amplitude to compensate for the reduced Rabi frequency.

t_final = 45e-9
sideband = 50e6
gauss_params_single_1 = {
    'amp': Qty(value=0.8, min_val=0.2, max_val=3, unit="V"),
    't_final': Qty(value=t_final, min_val=0.5 * t_final, max_val=1.5 * t_final, unit="s"),
    'sigma': Qty(value=t_final / 4, min_val=t_final / 8, max_val=t_final / 2, unit="s"),
    'xy_angle': Qty(value=0.0, min_val=-0.5 * np.pi, max_val=2.5 * np.pi, unit='rad'),
    'freq_offset': Qty(value=-sideband - 3e6, min_val=-56 * 1e6, max_val=-52 * 1e6, unit='Hz 2pi'),
    'delta': Qty(value=-1, min_val=-5, max_val=3, unit="")
}

gauss_params_single_2 = {
    'amp': Qty(value=0.03, min_val=0.02, max_val=0.6, unit="V"),
    't_final': Qty(value=t_final, min_val=0.5 * t_final, max_val=1.5 * t_final, unit="s"),
    'sigma': Qty(value=t_final / 4, min_val=t_final / 8, max_val=t_final / 2, unit="s"),
    'xy_angle': Qty(value=0.0, min_val=-0.5 * np.pi, max_val=2.5 * np.pi, unit='rad'),
    'freq_offset': Qty(value=-sideband - 3e6, min_val=-56 * 1e6, max_val=-52 * 1e6, unit='Hz 2pi'),
    'delta': Qty(value=-1, min_val=-5, max_val=3, unit="")
}

gauss_env_single_1 = pulse.Envelope(
    name="gauss1",
    desc="Gaussian envelope on drive 1",
    params=gauss_params_single_1,
    shape=envelopes.gaussian_nonorm
)
gauss_env_single_2 = pulse.Envelope(
    name="gauss2",
    desc="Gaussian envelope on drive 2",
    params=gauss_params_single_2,
    shape=envelopes.gaussian_nonorm
)

The carrier signal of each drive is set to the resonance frequency of the target qubit.

lo_freq_q1 = freq_q1 + sideband
lo_freq_q2 = freq_q2 + sideband

carr_1 = pulse.Carrier(
    name="carrier",
    desc="Carrier on drive 1",
    params={
        'freq': Qty(value=lo_freq_q2, min_val=0.9 * lo_freq_q2, max_val=1.1 * lo_freq_q2, unit='Hz 2pi'),
        'framechange': Qty(value=0.0, min_val=-np.pi, max_val=3 * np.pi, unit='rad')
    }
)

carr_2 = pulse.Carrier(
    name="carrier",
    desc="Carrier on drive 2",
    params={
        'freq': Qty(value=lo_freq_q2, min_val=0.9 * lo_freq_q2, max_val=1.1 * lo_freq_q2, unit='Hz 2pi'),
        'framechange': Qty(value=0.0, min_val=-np.pi, max_val=3 * np.pi, unit='rad')
    }
)

Instructions

The instruction to be optimised is a CNOT gates controlled by qubit 1.

# CNOT comtrolled by qubit 1
cnot12 = gates.Instruction(
    name="cnot12", targets=[0, 1], t_start=0.0, t_end=t_final, channels=["d1", "d2"],
    ideal=np.array([
        [1,0,0,0],
        [0,1,0,0],
        [0,0,0,1],
        [0,0,1,0]
    ])
)
cnot12.add_component(gauss_env_single_1, "d1")
cnot12.add_component(carr_1, "d1")
cnot12.add_component(gauss_env_single_2, "d2")
cnot12.add_component(carr_2, "d2")
cnot12.comps["d1"]["carrier"].params["framechange"].set_value(
    (-sideband * t_final) * 2 * np.pi % (2 * np.pi)
)

The experiment

All components are collected in the parameter map and the experiment is set up.

parameter_map = PMap(instructions=[cnot12], model=model, generator=generator)
exp = Exp(pmap=parameter_map)

Calculate and print the propagator before the optimisation.

unitaries = exp.compute_propagators()
print(unitaries[cnot12.get_key()])

As a fidelity function we choose unitary fidelity as well as LBFG-S (a wrapper of the scipy implementation) from our library.

import os
import tempfile
from c3.optimizers.optimalcontrol import OptimalControl

log_dir = os.path.join(tempfile.TemporaryDirectory().name, "c3logs")
opt = OptimalControl(
    dir_path=log_dir,
    fid_func=fidelities.unitary_infid_set,
    fid_subspace=["Q1", "Q2"],
    pmap=parameter_map,
    algorithm=algorithms.lbfgs,
    options={
        "maxfun": 25

Results of the optimisation

Plotting the dynamics with the same initial state:

plot_dynamics(exp, init_state, sequence)
plotSplittedPopulation(exp, init_state, sequence)
_images/two_qubit_entangling_gate_38_0.png _images/two_qubit_entangling_gate_38_1.png

Now we plot the dynamics for the control in the excited state.

psi_init = [[0] * 9]
psi_init[0][4] = 1
init_state = tf.transpose(tf.constant(psi_init, tf.complex128))
print(init_state)

plot_dynamics(exp, init_state, sequence)
plotSplittedPopulation(exp, init_state, sequence)
tf.Tensor(
[[0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j]
 [1.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j]], shape=(9, 1), dtype=complex128)

As intended, the dynamics of the target is dependent on the control qubit performing a flip if the control is excited and an identity otherwise.
