Cover Story
Because geometric phases are dependent only on the evolution paths of a quantum system but independent of the evolution details, quantum computation based on geometric phases features some intrinsic noise-resilience. The work by Zhao et al. experimentally realized the nonadiabatic geometric one-qubit gates with a superconducting Xmon qubit at the two lowest levels of the qubit, thus avoiding the influence from the short coherence time of the second excited state. This cover illustrates the evolution path of a quantum state with Bloch sphere representation. Driven by the designed microwave pulses (indicated in red, green, and purple) along an orange slice-shaped path in the computational space, the quantum state acquires a geometric phase (See the article (No. 250362) by PeiZi Zhao et al.).
