Transmon qubits arise from the quantization of nonlinear resonators, systems that are prone to the buildup of strong, possibly chaotic, fluctuations. Such instabilities will likely affect fast gate operations which involve the transient population of higher excited states outside the computational subspace. Here we show that a statistical analysis of the instantaneous eigenphases of the time evolution operator, in particular of their curvatures, allows for identifying the subspace affected by chaotic fluctuations. Our analysis shows that fast entangling gates, operating at speeds close to the so-called quantum speed limit, contain transient regimes where the dynamics indeed becomes partially chaotic for just two transmons.
