This study develops filter functions for Molmer-Sorensen gates in trapped-ion quantum computers, accurately predicting the change in gate error due to small parameter fluctuations at any frequency. Experimental results show that using these filter functions can significantly improve gate fidelity in a five-ion chain.
High-fidelity two-qubit gates in quantum computers are often hampered by fluctuating experimental parameters. The effects of time-varying parameter fluctuations lead to coherent noise on the qubits, which can be suppressed by designing control signals with appropriate filter functions. Here, we develop filter functions for Molmer-Sorensen gates of trapped-ion quantum computers that accurately predict the change in gate error due to small parameter fluctuations at any frequency. We then design the filter functions of frequency-modulated laser pulses, and compare this method with pulses that are robust to static offsets of the motional-mode frequencies. Experimentally, we measure the noise spectrum of the motional modes and use it for designing the filter functions, which improves the gate fidelity from 99.23(7)% to 99.55(7)% in a five-ion chain.
