An arrangement, an apparatus, a quantum computing system, and a method are disclosed for reducing qubit leakage errors. In an example, an apparatus includes a qubit having a ground state and a plurality of excited states. The plurality of excited states include a lowest excited state. An energy difference between the ground state and the lowest excited state corresponds to a first frequency, and an energy difference between the lowest excited state and another excited state in the plurality of excited states corresponds to a second frequency. The apparatus also includes an energy dissipation structure to dissipate transferred energy, and a filter having a stopband and a passband. The filter is coupled to the qubit and to the energy dissipation structure. The stopband includes the first frequency and the passband includes the second frequency for reducing qubit leakage errors.

Qubit leakage error reductions

It is an objective to provide an arrangement for reducing qubit leakage errors in a quantum computing system. According to an embodiment, an arrangement for reducing qubit leakage errors includes a first qubit and a second qubit selectively couplable to each other. The arrangement also includes an energy dissipation structure that is selectively couplable to the first qubit. The energy dissipation structure is configured to dissipate energy transferred from the first qubit. The arrangement further includes a control unit configured to perform a first quantum operation to transfer a property of a quantum state from the first qubit to the second qubit, couple the first qubit to the energy dissipation structure for a time interval, and perform a second quantum operation to transfer the property of the quantum state from the second qubit to the first qubit after the time interval.
