Abstract
Scaling up quantum computing hardware is hindered by the narrow operating margins of current quantum components. Here, we introduce a composite qubit and gate scheme that achieves wide margins by use of transistor-like nonlinearities to suppress the effects of both ambient noise and control signal imperfections. This is accomplished by adiabatic deformation of subsystem codes based on anti-commuting two-body interactions. We focus on a resource-efficient variation that exploits biased noise and preserves bias under gate operation. As a proof of concept, we present simulations of a superconducting circuit that demonstrates core elements of the approach and discuss the challenges of experimental implementation.
