High-fidelity two-qubit gates at scale are a key requirement to realize the
full promise of quantum computation and simulation. The advent and use of
coupler elements to tunably control two-qubit interactions has improved
operational fidelity in many-qubit systems by reducing parasitic coupling and
frequency crowding issues. Nonetheless, two-qubit gate errors still limit the
capability of near-term quantum applications. The reason, in part, is the
existing framework for tunable couplers based on the dispersive approximation
does not fully incorporate three-body multi-level dynamics, which is essential
for addressing coherent leakage to the coupler and parasitic longitudinal
($ZZ$) interactions during two-qubit gates. Here, we present a systematic
approach that goes beyond the dispersive approximation to exploit the
engineered level structure of the coupler and optimize its control. Using this
approach, we experimentally demonstrate CZ and $ZZ$-free iSWAP gates with
two-qubit interaction fidelities of $99.76 \pm 0.07$% and $99.87 \pm 0.23$%,
respectively, which are close to their $T_1$ limits.
