Achieving high-fidelity single-qubit gates, two-qubit gates, and qubit readout is critical for building scalable, error-corrected quantum computers. However, device parameters that enhance one operation often degrade the others, making simultaneous optimization challenging. Here, we demonstrate that careful tuning of qubit-coupler coupling strengths in a superconducting circuit with two transmon qubits coupled via a tunable coupler enables high-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates, without compromising readout performance. Furthermore, we introduce a new calibration protocol for diabatic controlled- <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <a:mi>Z</a:mi> </a:math> gates, phased-averaged leakage error amplification (PALEA), which enables efficient suppression of coherent gate errors and leakage to noncomputational states. Using PALEA in combination with careful tuning of qubit-coupler coupling strengths, we achieve a 40 h-averaged CZ gate fidelity of 99.93 %, simultaneous single-qubit gate fidelities of 99.98 %, and readout fidelities over 99.94 % in a single device. Our results demonstrate a viable path toward scaling up superconducting quantum processors while maintaining consistently high gate and readout fidelities.
