摘要: One of the key features required to realize fault-tolerant quantum computation is the robustness of quantum gates against errors. Since geometric quantum gate is naturally insensitivity to noise, it appears to be a promising routine to achieve high-fidelity, robust quantum gates. The implementation of geometric quantum gate however faces some troubles such as its complex interaction among multiple energy levels. Moreover, traditional geometric schemes usually take more time than equivalent dynamical ones. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a geometric gate scheme with the time-optimal control (TOC) technique in a superconducting quantum circuit. With a transmon qubit and operations restricted to two computational levels, we implement a set of geometric gates which exhibit better robustness features against control errors than the dynamical counterparts. The measured fidelities of TOC $X$ gate and ${X}/{2}$ gate are $99.81 \%$ and $99.79 \%$ respectively. Our work shows a promising routine toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computation.
