RESUMO
Simple tuneup of fast two-qubit gates is essential for the scaling of quantum processors. We introduce the sudden variant (SNZ) of the net zero scheme realizing controlled-Z (CZ) gates by flux control of transmon frequency. SNZ CZ gates realized in a multitransmon processor operate at the speed limit of transverse coupling between computational and noncomputational states by maximizing intermediate leakage. Beyond speed, the key advantage of SNZ is tuneup simplicity, owing to the regular structure of conditional phase and leakage as a function of two control parameters. SNZ is compatible with scalable schemes for quantum error correction and adaptable to generalized conditional-phase gates useful in intermediate-scale applications.
RESUMO
Conditional-phase (cz) gates in transmons can be realized by flux pulsing computational states towards resonance with noncomputational ones. We present a 40 ns cz gate based on a bipolar flux pulse suppressing leakage (0.1%) by interference and approaching the speed limit set by exchange coupling. This pulse harnesses a built-in echo to enhance fidelity (99.1%) and is robust to long-timescale distortion in the flux-control line, ensuring repeatability. Numerical simulations matching experiment show that fidelity is limited by high-frequency dephasing and leakage by short-timescale distortion.
RESUMO
The experience of development of a protocol for the nutritional management of postoperative surgical patients is described. The protocol was developed with the involvement of all the professionals working in the ward (nurses, anesthetists, dieticians and surgeons). It contained indications on how and when re-start feeding for non complicated surgical patients. Specific indications for diabetic, hypertensive and nephropatic patients were devised. The protocol was readily adopted and successfully implemented, indicating that the strategy of sharing and discussing problems involving all the professionals leads to a better chance of success.
