Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the implementation of two-qubit gates by decomposing them into sequences of AshN gates and single-qubit gates. This segmentation allows each component gate to be implemented with higher precision and controlled error rates, thereby improving overall reliability while reducing the harmful errors associated with direct two-qubit gate operations.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic decoupling drive techniques that modify operational parameters (drive amplitudes, pulse durations, frequencies) to achieve local equivalence between the decomposed gate sequence and the target two-qubit gate. By optimizing these parameters, the implementation achieves higher fidelity and reduced errors compared to conventional fixed-parameter two-qubit gates.

AI summary

A gate sequence can be generated for performing a quantum computation by replacing certain two-qubit gates with AshN gates. The gate sequence can be generated by a classical computing system. Generation of the gate sequence can include identifying, in the gate sequence, a two-qubit gate to be applied to two qubits of a quantum computing system. The two-qubit gate can be associated with Weyl coordinates x, y, and z. An AshN gate can be generated that is locally equivalent to the two-qubit gate using characteristics of the two qubits and the Weyl coordinates. The AshN gate can be included in the gate sequence in place of the identified two-qubit gate. The gate sequence can be applied to the quantum computing system to perform the quantum computation.
