A transmon qubit realized by exploiting the superconductor-insulator transition
C. G. L. Bøttcher, E. Önder, T. Connolly +8
Superconducting qubits are among the most promising platforms for realizing practical quantum computers. One requirement to create a quantum processor is nonlinearity, which in sup…
Effect of quasiparticles on the parameters of a gap-engineered transmon
Daniil S. Antonenko, Pavel D. Kurilovich, Francisco J. Matute-Cañadas +1
We evaluate the quasiparticle contribution to the frequency shift and relaxation rates of a transmon with the Josephson junctions connecting superconductors that have unequal energ…
Quasiparticle-induced decoherence of a driven superconducting qubit
Mykola Kishmar, Pavel D. Kurilovich, Andrey Klots +3
We develop a theory for two quasiparticle-induced decoherence mechanisms of a driven superconducting qubit. In the first mechanism, an existing quasiparticle (QP) tunnels across th…
Full characterization of measurement-induced transitions of a superconducting qubit
Thomas Connolly, Pavel D. Kurilovich, Vladislav D. Kurilovich +12
Repeated quantum non-demolition measurement is a cornerstone of quantum error correction protocols. In superconducting qubits, the speed of dispersive state readout can be enhanced…
Characterization of drive-induced unwanted state transitions in superconducting circuits
W. Dai, S. Hazra, D. K. Weiss +11
Microwave drives are essential for implementing control and readout operations in superconducting quantum circuits. However, increasing the drive strength eventually leads to unwan…
Andreev spin qubit protected by Franck-Condon blockade
P. D. Kurilovich, T. Vakhtel, T. Connolly +2
Andreev levels localized in a weak link between two superconductors can trap a superconducting quasiparticle. If there is a spin-orbit coupling in the link, the spin of the quasipa…
Recovery dynamics of a gap-engineered transmon after a quasiparticle burst
Heekun Nho, Thomas Connolly, Pavel D. Kurilovich +4
Ionizing radiation impacts create bursts of quasiparticle density in superconducting qubits. These bursts temporarily degrade qubit coherence which can be detrimental for quantum e…
High-frequency readout free from transmon multi-excitation resonances
Pavel D. Kurilovich, Thomas Connolly, Charlotte G. L. Bøttcher +12
Quantum computation will rely on quantum error correction to counteract decoherence. Successfully implementing an error correction protocol requires the fidelity of qubit operation…
