Robust high-fidelity universal set of quantum gates through non-adiabatic rapid passage

We show how a robust high-fidelity universal set of quantum gates can be implemented using a single form of non-adiabatic rapid passage whose parameters are optimized to maximize gate fidelity and reward gate robustness. Each gate in the universal set is found to operate with a fidelity ℱ in the range 0.99988 < ℱ < 0.99999, and to require control parameters with no more than 14 bit (1 part in 104) precision. Such precision is within reach of commercially available arbitrary waveform generators, so that an experimental study of this approach to high-fidelity universal quantum control appears feasible.
