We propose a simple unconventional geometric scenario to achieve a kind of nontrivial multiqubit operation with superconducting charge qubits placed in a microwave cavity. The proposed quantum operations are insensitive not only to the thermal state of the cavity mode but also to certain random operation errors, and thus may lead to high-fidelity quantum-information processing. By executing the designated quantum operations, a class of highly entangled cluster states may be generated efficiently in the present scalable solid-state system, enabling one to achieve one-way quantum computation.
