Advances in superconducting qubit fabrication procedures have led to energy relaxation times regularly exceeding 100 µ s. Therefore, passive reset via relaxation has become unpractical, and an active reset protocol is required to achieve high repetition rate of quantum algorithms. Previous unconditional qubit reset schemes have relied on flux tunable qubits or multiple transitions over higher qubit states. We extend a previous reset scheme using flux tunable qubits to fixed frequency transmon qubits with tunable couplers. The reset pulse consists of a single parametric flux pulse on the coupler to transfer qubit excitations to a quickly decaying resonator. Our protocol does not rely on additional control lines and can be implemented on current multi-qubit architectures. Further, it can be extended to architectures where a single coupler allows for reset of multiple qubits. We present preliminary numerical and experimental results for this reset protocol demonstrating its potential usefulness.
