Fluctuations From Edge Defects in Superconducting Resonators

Abstract

Superconducting resonators, used in astronomy and quantum computation, couple strongly to microscopic two-level defects. We monitor the microwave response of superconducting resonators and observe fluctuations in dissipation and resonance frequency. We present a unified model where the observed dissipative and dispersive effects can be explained as originating from a bath of fluctuating two-level systems. From these measurements, we quantify the number and distribution of the defects.
