Single flux quantum (SFQ) digital logic has been proposed for the scalable control of next-generation superconducting-qubit arrays.In the initial implementation, SFQ-based gate fidelity was limited by quasiparticle (QP) poisoning induced by the dissipative on-chip SFQ driver circuit.In this work, we introduce a 2003 kia spectra catalytic converter multichip-module architecture to suppress phonon-mediated QP poisoning.Here, the SFQ elements and qubits are fabricated on separate chips that are joined with In-bump bonds.

We use interleaved randomized benchmarking to characterize the fidelity of SFQ-based gates and we demonstrate an error per Clifford gate of 1.2(1)%, an order-of-magnitude reduction over the gate error achieved in the initial realization of SFQ-based qubit control.We use purity benchmarking to quantify the contribution of incoherent error at 0.96(2)%; we attribute this error to photon-mediated QP poisoning mediated by the resonant millimeter-wave antenna modes of the qubit and SFQ-qubit coupler.

We anticipate that a straightforward redesign of the SFQ driver circuit to limit the bandwidth of ben nye sienna powder the SFQ pulses will eliminate this source of infidelity, allowing SFQ-based gates with error approaching approximate known theoretical limits, of order 0.1% for resonant sequences and 0.01% for more complex pulse sequences involving variable pulse-to-pulse separation.
