  • We describe a protocol for the universal control of non-ideal $π$-periodic superconducting qubits. Our proposal relies on a $π$-SQUID: a superconducting loop formed by two $π$-periodic circuit elements, with an external magnetic flux threading the circuit. The system exhibits an extensive sweet spot around half-flux where residual $2π$-periodic Cooper pair tunneling is highly suppressed. We demonstrate that universal single-qubit operations can be realised by tuning the flux adiabatically and diabatically within this broad sweet spot. We also assess how residual $2π$-periodicity in $π$-SQUIDs impacts holonomic phase gates.
