Dynamical Decoupling using Universal Optimal Tracking (opens in new tab)

Dynamical decoupling (DD) is a widely used and resource-efficient technique for error suppression, but conventional DD relies on periodically repeating a short pulse block to refocus the qubit state during idle periods. Imperfections in this block cause residual errors to accumulate, ultimately degrading state recovery over long idle times. Here, we introduce a universal optimal tracking approach that extends the original tracking concept to a f...
