Abstract

The present disclosure describes techniques for optimizing two-qubit gates performance in a quantum circuit of a quantum computing system. A quantum computing system selects, from qubits in the quantum circuit, a pair of target qubits on which to perform a quantum gate operation. The quantum computing system selects, from the plurality of qubits, a second plurality of qubits on which to introduce an intentional noise. The intentional noise is applied to the second plurality of qubits via a numerical optimizer. An optimized frequency is determined based on the applied intentional noise. The quantum gate operation is performed by modifying the pair of target qubits frequency to the optimized frequency.
