As superconducting quantum circuits are scaling up rapidly towards the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ)era,the demand for electronic control equipment has increased significantly.To fully control a quantum chip of N qubits,the common method based on up-conversion technology costs at least 2 × N digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and N IQ mixers.The expenses and complicate mixer calibration have become a hinderance for intermediate-scale quantum control.Here we propose a universal control scheme for superconducting circuits,fully based on parametric modulation.To control N qubits on a chip,our scheme only requires N DACs and no IQ mixer,which significantly reduces the expenses.One key idea in the control scheme is to introduce a global pump signal for single-qubit gates.We theoretically explain how the universal gates are constructed using parametric modulation.The fidelity analysis shows that parametric single-qubit(two-qubit) gates in the proposed scheme can achieve low error rates of 104,with a gate time of about 60 ns (100 ns).
