Abstract
The nonadiabatic geometric quantum gate (NGQG) is promising for the realization of high-fidelity operation for large-scale quantum processing. Normally, conventional NGQGs can be especially robust to either the Rabi error or the detuning error, which are two typical errors in many quantum computing platforms. However, it is difficult to suppress these two types of errors at the same time. This remains a big challenge for NGQGs. Here we present a general framework to implement the optimized geometric gate, where the evolution path is performed by using a family of optimized composite pulses. These composite pulses can reduce the sensitivity to the detuning error without introducing an extra Rabi error for this path. Thus, they help fulfill the cyclic evolution condition for the geometric gate. In addition, the inserted composite pulses would not introduce unwanted dynamical phase accumulation. As a result, the designed optimized geometric gate can simultaneously mitigate both the Rabi and detuning errors even in the presence of decoherence related to the real experiments. Our work paves a way to achieve geometric quantum computation robust against multiple errors.
