Chinese Team Boosts 20 Two-Qubit Gates on Origin Wukong at 30-40 Nanoseconds

3 articles · Updated · CGTN · Aug 7

Summary

  • A Chinese team from Origin Quantum and USTC reported a new controlled-Z design that kept two-qubit gates fast without losing accuracy on the Origin Wukong superconducting quantum computer.
  • Tests on 20 qubit-pair gates showed the parameter-space expansion CZ scheme suppressed short-time distortion errors and beat conventional CZ gates even at 30-40 nanoseconds.
  • The advance targets a core quantum-computing trade-off: faster gates usually increase waveform distortion and timing errors, while slower gates reduce overall system performance.
  • Physical Review Letters published the work, which the researchers said pushed gate performance closer to the dephasing limit and could extend beyond superconducting systems to ion traps and solid-state spin qubits.
