Computed models of natural radiation backgrounds in qubits and superconducting detectors
Joseph Fowler, Ian Fogarty Florang, Nathan Nakamura +3
Naturally occurring radiation backgrounds cause correlated decoherence events in superconducting qubits. These backgrounds include both gamma rays produced by terrestrial radioisot…

Spectroscopic measurements and models of energy deposition in the substrate of quantum circuits by natural ionizing radiation
Joseph W. Fowler, Paul Szypryt, Raymond Bunker +16
Naturally occurring background radiation is a source of correlated decoherence events in superconducting qubits that will challenge error-correction schemes. To characterize the ra…
