    Abstract

    Tunable coupling architectures consisting of frequency-tunable qubits and couplers are widely employed in superconducting quantum processors. Magnetic flux crosstalk between these components poses a significant challenge to platform scalability, while quantum crosstalk induced by strong qubit-coupler interactions further complicates the compensation of flux crosstalk. To address these issues, we propose and experimentally validate a spin-echo-based method that effectively separates quantum and flux crosstalk, enabling accurate characterization of flux crosstalk. Furthermore, we integrate learning-based algorithm with a high-parallelism measurement scheme to improve efficiency. This approach achieves the stabilization of frequency-shift fluctuations at a noise baseline of approximately 20 kHz, with the accuracy of the crosstalk coefficient reaching an order of 10−5 after compensation. The method provides a robust and efficient framework for mitigating crosstalk, paving the way for high-fidelity control of large-scale quantum processors.
