As quantum circuits become more integrated and complex, additional error sources that were previously
insignificant start to emerge. Consequently, the fidelity of quantum gates benchmarked under pristine
conditions falls short of predicting their performance in realistic circuits. To overcome this problem, we
must improve their robustness against pertinent error models besides isolated fidelity. Here, we report the
experimental realization of robust quantum gates in superconducting quantum circuits based on a
geometric framework for diagnosing and correcting various gate errors. Using quantum process
tomography and randomized benchmarking, we demonstrate robust single-qubit gates against quasistatic
noise and spatially correlated noise in a broad range of strengths, which are common sources of coherent
errors in large-scale quantum circuits. We also apply our method to nonstatic noises and to realize robust
two-qubit gates. Our Letter provides a versatile toolbox for achieving noise-resilient complex quantum
circuits.
