Exceeding the Parametric Drive Strength Threshold in Nonlinear Circuits
Mingkang Xia, Cristóbal Lledó, Matthew Capocci +7
Superconducting quantum circuits rely on strong drives to implement fast gates, high-fidelity readout, and state stabilization. However, these drives can induce uncontrolled excita…

Offset Charge Dependence of Measurement-Induced Transitions in Transmons
Mathieu Féchant, Marie Frédérique Dumas, Denis Bénâtre +9
A key challenge in achieving scalable fault tolerance in superconducting quantum processors is readout fidelity, which lags behind one- and two-qubit gate fidelity. A major limitat…

Probing excited-state dynamics of transmon ionization
Zihao Wang, Benjamin D'Anjou, Philippe Gigon +2
The fidelity and quantum nondemolition character of the dispersive readout in circuit QED are limited by unwanted transitions to highly excited states at specific photon numbers in…
