Measurement-induced state transitions in multi-qubit transmon processors

Baptiste Hoyau, Alexander McDonald, Boris M. Varbanov +2

Dispersive readout of the transmon qubit in circuit QED is known to lose its quantum non-demolition character at small to moderate measurement drive amplitudes. This phenomenon is…

Measurement-induced state transitions across the fluxonium qubit landscape

Alex A. Chapple, Boris M. Varbanov, Alexander McDonald +1

Understanding the mechanisms that limit high-fidelity readout in circuit quantum electrodynamics is essential for its optimization. Multi-photon resonances are understood to be a l…

Robustness of longitudinal transmon readout to ionization

Alex A. Chapple, Alexander McDonald, Manuel H. Muñoz-Arias +1

Multi-photon processes deteriorate the quantum non-demolition (QND) character of the dispersive readout in circuit QED, causing readout to lag behind single and two-qubit gates, in…

High-fidelity gates in a transmon using bath engineering for passive leakage reset

Ted Thorbeck, Alexander McDonald, O. Lanes +6

Leakage, the occupation of any state not used in the computation, is one of the of the most devastating errors in quantum error correction. Transmons, the most common superconducti…

Measurement-Induced Transmon Ionization

Marie Frédérique Dumas, Benjamin Groleau-Paré, Alexander McDonald +4

Despite the high measurement fidelity that can now be reached, the dispersive qubit readout of circuit quantum electrodynamics is plagued by a loss of its quantum nondemolition cha…
