宇宙射线和伽马射线引起的电离辐射会引发超导量子比特环境电荷的突变(电荷跳变),导致相关错误,阻碍容错量子计算,同时为量子传感提供检测信号。现有检测方法均为离线处理,存在延迟,不适用于闭环控制。本文提出一种基于空洞因果卷积神经网络(DCCNN)的在线电荷跳变检测器,专为量子仪器控制套件(QICK)平台设计。模型在费米实验室西北实验地下站(NEXUS)采集的量子比特模板数据上生成的合成拉姆齐扫描数据上训练,并通过hls4ml转换为FPGA固件,采用ap_fixed<16,6>量化,在Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU216上实现每推理6.19微秒的延迟。在此条件下,DCCNN检测效率为0.843±0.022,与经典离线χ²算法(0.866±0.020,|Δq|∈[0.1,0.5]e,相同误报率下)相当,且无需针对每个量子比特进行超参数调优。该方法将电荷跳变检测从事后诊断转变为控制环路原语,支持对辐射事件的即时响应,适用于量子计算误差缓解及超导量子比特作为粒子探测器的应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ionizing radiation from cosmic rays and gammas can induce discontinuous jumps in the environmental charge of superconducting qubits (charge jumps), causing correlated errors that challenge fault-tolerant quantum computing while simultaneously providing a detection signature for quantum sensing applications. Current detection methods operate offline, introducing latency incompatible with in-the-loop qubit control. In this paper, an online detector of charge jumps for superconducting qubits, based on a dilated causal convolutional neural network (DCCNN) designed for in-the-loop deployment on the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK) platform, is presented. The network is trained on synthetic Ramsey tomography scans generated from qubit templates measured at the Northwestern Experimental Underground Site (NEXUS) at Fermilab, and translated to FPGA firmware via hls4ml with ap_fixed$\langle 16,6 \rangle$ quantization, reaching a per-inference latency of $6.19 μ$s on the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU216. At this operating point the DCCNN matches the detection efficiency of the established offline $χ^2$ algorithm ($0.843 \pm 0.022$ vs. $0.866 \pm 0.020$ on $|Δq| \in [0.1, 0.5] e$ at matched false-positive rate), while requiring no per-qubit hyperparameter tuning. This shifts charge-jump detection from a post-hoc diagnostic to a control-loop primitive, enabling adaptive protocols that respond to radiation-induced events in situ, with applications to quantum-computing error mitigation and to the use of superconducting qubits as particle detectors.
