Scientists at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China introduced a fully parameterized, multi‑objective periodic‑flux‑modulation framework that creates dynamical sweet spots (DSS) for superconducting fluxonium qubits. The approach simultaneously optimizes energy‑relaxation (T₁) and pure‑dephasing (T_φ), delivering a 3‑5× improvement in T_φ while keeping T₁ in the hundred‑microsecond regime. By mapping a T₁‑T_φ Pareto front, the team identified double‑DSS regions that are insensitive to both DC and AC flux noise. Simulations show single‑qubit X‑gate fidelity of 99.9993% and √iSWAP fidelity of 99.995% under realistic conditions.
