Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing a quantum code using cat qubits as data qubits and transmon qubits as ancilla qubits is disclosed. In some embodiments, a three-level transmon is used and Chi-matching is performed to determine dispersive coupling coefficients between the cat qubits and first and second excited states of the transmon qubits, wherein the dispersive coupling coefficients are used to perform gates between the cat data qubits and the transmon ancilla qubits. The Chi-matching determines the dispersive coupling coefficients such that the cat qubits are rotated in a same manner while performing the gates regardless as to whether a given transmon ancilla qubit remains in a second excited state or has decayed to a first excited state.
