Active-Learning Inspired Theory-Experiment Loop Approach for Management of Material Defects: Application to Superconducting Qubits

Sarvesh Chaudhari, Cristóbal Méndez, Rushil Choudhary +11

Surface oxides are associated with two-level systems (TLSs) that degrade the performance of niobium-based superconducting quantum computing devices. To address this, we introduce a…

Statistics of Strongly Coupled Defects in Superconducting Qubits

S. Weeden, D. C. Harrison, S. Patel +8

Decoherence in superconducting qubits is dominated by defects that reside at amorphous interfaces. Interaction with discrete defects results in dropouts that complicate qubit opera…

Correlated quasiparticle poisoning from phonon-only events in superconducting qubits

E. Yelton, C. P. Larson, K. Dodge +2

Throughout multiple cooldowns we observe a power-law reduction in time for the rate of multi-qubit correlated poisoning events, while the rate of shifts in qubit offset-charge rema…

Quasiparticle poisoning of superconducting qubits with active gamma irradiation

C. P. Larson, E. Yelton, K. Dodge +5

When a high-energy particle, such as a -ray or muon, impacts the substrate of a superconducting qubit chip, large numbers of electron-hole pairs and phonons are created. The ens…

Water Droplet Avalanches

Britton Plourde, Franco Nori, Michael Bretz

We analyze the statistics of water droplet avalanches in a continuously driven system. Distributions are obtained for avalanche size, lifetime, and time between successive avalanch…
