Nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates that are robust against systematic errors

A nonadiabatic geometric quantum gate is realized by integrating nonadiabatic geometric phases with global geometric features into the unitary quantum control, thereby removing the limitation of a long evolution time in the adiabatic case. However, systematic errors are inevitable in practical quantum control; these lead to the deviation of the evolution from target conditions to inducing geometric phases, smearing the robustness of the induced geometric quantum gates. Here, we present a general theoretical framework with enhanced robustness for geometric quantum gates by preserving fundamental geometric conditions. We first analytically evaluate the influence of systematic errors on geometric gates and then propose an optimized approach to mitigate this influence. Numerical simulations indicate that, as the geometric conditions are still maintained in the presence of systematic errors in our scheme, the constructed geometric quantum gates exhibit strong robustness, far superior to that of conventional schemes. Furthermore, we propose implementing the scheme in superconducting quantum circuits, where geometric quantum gates can achieve high fidelity with current experimental parameters. Therefore, the enhanced gate performance highlights the promise of our scheme for large-scale quantum computations.
