aiqbench analysis
This paper proposes preparing entangled states on superconducting transmon qubits by optimizing pulse parameters directly, instead of compiling them into standard gate sequences. It targets Bell, GHZ, and W entanglement classes in two- and three-qubit systems and uses a reduced parameter set to narrow the optimization search. For quantum computing readers, the practical question is whether pulse-level methods can cut circuit depth and gate errors on real hardware, which the abstract alone does not show, so scaling beyond small systems and hardware validation are the key things to watch.
Preparing pre-established quantum correlations with pulse-level control
arXiv:2602.20275v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we present a technique for quantum state preparation in transmon qubit system that employs optimized electromagnetic pulse sequences rather than discrete quantum gates. By focusing directly on quantum correlations rather than specific target states, we optimize the pulse parameters to generate the desired entanglement structures in two and three qubits systems. The resulting protocols reproduce the characteristic entanglement properties associated with the Bell, GHZ, and W classes, reaching values of the corresponding entanglement measures consistent with these entanglement structures. The approach uses a reduced set of parameters to characterize the control pulses, thereby restricting the space explored during optimization while retaining the entanglement properties of interest.
