Integrating Quantum Processor Device and Control Optimization in a Gradient-based Framework

In a quantum processor, the device design and external controls together contribute to the quality of the target quantum operations. As we continuously seek better alternative qubit platforms, we explore the increasingly large device and control design space. Thus, optimization becomes more and more challenging. In this work, we demonstrate that the figure of merit reflecting a design goal can be made differentiable with respect to the device and control parameters. In addition, we can compute the gradient of the design objective efficiently in a similar manner to the back-propagation algorithm and then utilize the gradient to optimize the device and the control parameters jointly and efficiently. This extends the scope of the quantum optimal control to superconducting device design. We also demonstrate the viability of gradient-based joint optimization over the device and control parameters through a few examples

{Bis[4-(2-pyrid­yl)pyrimidin-2-yl]sulfane}dichloridocobalt(II)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CoCl2(C18H12N6S)], contains one half-mol­ecule situated on a twofold rotation axis which passes through the Co and S atoms. The metal centre is in a distorted octahedral CoCl2N4 coordination with the Cl atoms in the axial positions. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl inter­actions help to establish the packing

Bis(2-amino-6-methyl­pyridinium) tetra­chloridocuprate(II)

The title compound, (C6H9N2)2[CuCl4], contains a distorted tetra­hedral [CuCl4]2− anion and two protonated amino­pyridinium cations. The geometries of the protonated amino­pyridinium cations reveal amine–imine tautomerism. The crystal packing is influenced by N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.635 (4) and 3.642 (4)°]

2-Amino-3-methyl­pyridinium 2-amino-5-methyl­pyridinium sulfate monohydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C6H9N2 +·SO4 2−·H2O, contains two isomeric protonated amino­methyl­pyridine cations, a sulfate anion and a solvent water mol­ecule. The cations are in the iminium tautomeric form. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network. Additional stabilization is provided by weak π–π stacking inter­actions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.758 (2) and 3.774 (1) Å
