contents Logic gates in superconducting quantum processors are implemented through precise quantum control techniques in the microwave regime. The choice of drive frequency and other control parameters directly determines the duration of quantum gate operations. Because current devices remain too noisy to reach fault tolerance, reducing gate durations, and thereby the overall circuit depth, is of critical importance. In this work, we present a model of single qubit gate execution in both the adiabatic regime, where the rotating wave approximation (RWA) is valid, and the diabatic regime, where the RWA no longer applies. Using parameters representative of superconducting qubits, we investigate how gates can be driven at durations well below conventional timescales, and we examine the associated limitations, performance trade offs. The results demonstrate that ultrashort control pulses in the diabatic regime can achieve fidelities comparable to those obtained under standard RWA conditions, offering a possible route to faster quantum logic without sacrificing accuracy under idealized conditions.
