Systems and methods are provided for performing a quantum gate operation. A first classical control parameter, configured to tune an associated frequency of a first qubit, is adjusted from a first value to a second value. The first value is selected such that the first qubit is tuned far from a characteristic frequency of an associated resonator, and the second value is selected such that the first qubit is tuned near to the characteristic frequency of the resonator. A second classical control parameter, configured to tune an associated frequency of a second qubit, is adjusted from a third value to a fourth value. The third value is selected such that the second qubit is tuned far from the characteristic frequency of the resonator. The first classical control parameter is returned to the first value. The second classical control parameter is returned to the third value.
