Unlike conventional decompositions into multiple two-qubit gates, our hybrid optimization approach selectively amplifies desired interactions while suppressing unwanted couplings, yielding robust performance across the computational subspace and beyond. The new gate can be classified as a cross-resonance gate. We show it can be utilized in several ways, for example, in GHZ triplet state preparation, Toffoli-class logic demonstrations with many-body interactions, and in implementing a controlled-ZZ gate. The latter maps the parity of two data qubits directly onto a measurement qubit, enabling faster and higher-fidelity stabilizer measurements in surface-code quantum error correction. In all these examples, we show that the three-qubit gate performance remains robust across Hilbert space sizes, as confirmed by testing under increasing total excitation numbers. This work lays the foundation for co-designing circuit architectures and control protocols that leverage native multiqubit interactions as core elements of next-generation superconducting quantum processors. 001048450 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5221$$a5221 - Advanced Solid-State Qubits and Qubit Systems (POF4-522)$$cPOF4-522$$fPOF IV$$x0 001048450 588__ $$aDataset connected to arXivarXiv 001048450 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)207732$$aWang, Siyu$$b1$$ufzj 001048450 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)175500$$aJoshi, Radhika$$b2$$ufzj 001048450 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHai, Rihan$$b3 001048450 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)171686$$aAnsari, Mohammad H.$$b4$$ufzj 001048450 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1048450$$pVDB 001048450 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)176178$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 001048450 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)207732$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 001048450 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)175500$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b2$$kFZJ 001048450 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)171686$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b4$$kFZJ 001048450 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-522$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5221$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lNatural, Artificial and Cognitive Information Processing$$vQuantum Computing$$x0 001048450 9141_ $$y2025 001048450 920__ $$lyes 001048450 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-2-20110106$$kPGI-2$$lTheoretische Nanoelektronik$$x0 001048450 980__ $$apreprint 001048450 980__ $$aVDB 001048450 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-2-20110106 001048450 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
