Experimental Realization of Dynamically Corrected Gates on IBM Hardware

Despite the performance milestones being achieved on different quantum computing platforms, noise-induced gate errors can still undermine high fidelity gates in many practical settings. A promising approach to suppressing such errors is through designing control fields that exhibit intrinsic error suppression. Here, we demonstrate this by using pulse control on IBM's superconducting devices to design dynamically corrected robust gates. This robustness is based on mapping quantum evolution to closed space curves as per our Space Curve Quantum Control (SCQC) formalism, giving rise to families of robust pulse solutions. We pick a handful of individually unique, smooth, single-pulse solutions and experimentally demonstrate that they are more robust to both detuning and amplitude noise compared to native IBM gates.
