Fast readout and reset of a superconducting qubit coupled to a resonator with an intrinsic Purcell filter

Abstract

Coupling a resonator to a superconducting qubit enables various operations on the qubit, including dispersive readout and unconditional reset. The speed of these operations is limited by the external decay rate of the resonator. However, increasing the decay rate also increases the rate of qubit decay via the resonator, limiting the qubit lifetime. Here, we demonstrate that the resonator-mediated qubit decay can be suppressed by utilizing the distributed-element, multi-mode nature of the resonator. We show that the suppression exceeds two orders of magnitude over a bandwidth of 600 MHz. We use this "intrinsic Purcell filter" to demonstrate a 40-ns readout with 99.1% fidelity and a 100-ns reset with residual excitation of less than 1.7%.
