| contents | We study the cross-resonance effect in capacitively-coupled fluxonium qubits and devise a simple formula for their maximum ZX interaction strength. By going beyond the perturbative regime, we find that a CNOT gate can generally be realized in under 200 ns with residual ZZ limited to 50 kHz, for fluxonium qubits with frequencies below 1 GHz. Our analysis relies on a semi-analytical method: we first numerically diagonalize the Floquet Hamiltonian of the strongly-driven control qubit and then perturbatively incorporate the weak qubit-qubit coupling to obtain an effective Hamiltonian. We also derive frequency collision windows around harmful control-target and control-spectator transitions. For large fluxonium devices, we predict a collision-free yield that is considerably less sensitive to junction variability compared to transmons in the same layout. These results support the viability of an all-fluxonium cross-resonance architecture with only capacitive couplings. |
