Fast Microwave-free State Preparation and Measurement of Superconducting Qubits

R. Abraham, F. Amet, P. Anderson +212

Fast, high-fidelity, scalable state preparation and measurement is critical to the realization of a quantum computing system. The state-of-the-art methods for preparation and reado…

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…

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…

Coexistence of nonequilibrium density and equilibrium energy distribution of quasiparticles in a superconducting qubit

Thomas Connolly, Pavel D. Kurilovich, Spencer Diamond +5

The density of quasiparticles typically observed in superconducting qubits exceeds the value expected in equilibrium by many orders of magnitude. Can this out-of-equilibrium quasip…

Distinguishing parity-switching mechanisms in a superconducting qubit

Spencer Diamond, Valla Fatemi, Max Hays +8

Single-charge tunneling is a decoherence mechanism affecting superconducting qubits, yet the origin of excess quasiparticle excitations (QPs) responsible for this tunneling in supe…
