| Summary:
Tunable couplers enable high-fidelity two-qubit gates leveraging high on/off
coupling ratios and reduced crosstalk within a single design. We investigate a
galvanically connected direct-current superconducting quantum interference
device (dc SQUID) as a minimal tunable coupling element for fluxonium qubits.
Comparing grounded and floating fluxonium designs, we find that the latter
contains an extra sloshing mode that strongly hybridizes with the qubit modes,
leading to significant static ZZ crosstalk. In contrast, the grounded design
avoids this issue and allows suppression of static ZZ crosstalk using a
shunting capacitor. Leveraging fast flux control, we present two schemes to
implement two-qubit gates, predicting a $sqrtitextSWAP$-like gate with
$99.9%$ open-system fidelity in less than 6 nanoseconds assuming modest
relaxation and dephasing rates.
