We investigate a linear chain of qubits with strong, always-on nearest-neighbour couplings. Always-on coupling is simple to realize, but it raises the question of how to decouple the qubits. One possibility would be strong detuning, but the energy splitting of many qubits can only be changed slowly or the energy is fixed by tuning to a symmetry point which reduces decoherence.We propose a selective dynamical decoupling scheme, which is capable of dynamically suppressing any coupling in the chain as needed, by applying certain sequences of local pulses to individual qubits. We demonstrate how this pulse control can be used to implement single-qubit rotations and an entangling two-qubit gate between any neighbouring qubits in the chain. We find that high fidelities can be achieved as long as the number of permanently coupled qubits is not too large. As a specific example we discuss the concrete parameters needed to implement our proposal with superconducting flux qubits.
