Distinguishing types of correlated errors in superconducting qubits
Hannah P. Binney, H. Douglas Pinckney, Kate Azar +15
Errors in superconducting qubits that are correlated in time and space can pose problems for quantum error correction codes. Radiation from cosmic and terrestrial sources can incre…
Enhanced Sensitivity near a Quantum Exceptional Point in the Absence of Engineered Dissipation
Réouven Assouly, Harry Hanlim Kang, Aziza Almanakly +8
Non-Hermitian systems exhibit phenomena absent from Hermitian systems, including exceptional points (EPs), at which two or more eigenvectors coalesce. Conventional implementations…
Driven-dissipative entanglement of distant giant atoms
Aziza Almanakly, Ariadna Soro, Alejandro Vivas-Viaña +15
Quantum interconnects distribute entanglement via controlled light-matter interactions for quantum computing and sensing applications. Many entanglement generation schemes use cohe…
Characterization of Aluminum Microwave SQUID Multiplexers for CENS Detection
James Amidei, Antoine Armatol, Corinne Augier +92
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of an aluminum-based six-channel microwave SQUID multiplexer (MUX) prototype for transition-edge sensor (TES) readout i…
Characterization and Comparison of Energy Relaxation in Fluxonium Qubits
Kate Azar, Lamia Ateshian, Mallika T. Randeria +19
Fluxonium superconducting qubits have demonstrated long coherence times and high single- and two-qubit gate fidelities, making them a favorable building block for superconducting q…
Characterization of Radiation-Induced Errors in Superconducting Qubits Protected with Various Gap-Engineering Strategies
H. Douglas Pinckney, Thomas McJunkin, Alan W. Hunt +26
Impacts from high-energy particles cause correlated errors in superconducting qubits by increasing the quasiparticle density in the vicinity of the Josephson junctions (JJs). Such…
