Nondemolition fluorescence readout and high-fidelity unconditional reset of a fluxonium qubit via dissipation engineering

Non-demolition readout and high-fidelity unconditional reset of qubits are key requirements for practical quantum computation. For superconducting qubits, readout and reset are typically realized using resonators based on dispersive approximation. However, violations of the approximation often lead to detrimental effects on the qubit. In this work, we demonstrate non-demolition fluorescence readout and high-fidelity unconditional reset of a fluxonium qubit via dissipation engineering without employing a resonator. We design and implement a planar filter to protect the qubit from energy relaxation while enhancing the relaxation of the readout transition. By appropriately selecting the readout transition, we achieve fluorescence readout with enhanced quantum non-demolitionness. We also realize fast, high-fidelity and all-microwave unconditional reset of the fluxonium qubit. These results highlight the potential of superconducting-quantum computing architectures without relying on dispersive interaction between qubits and resonators.

Photon-Noise-Tolerant Dispersive Readout of a Superconducting Qubit Using a Nonlinear Purcell Filter

Yoshiki Sunada, Kenshi Yuki, Zhiling Wang +7 more

Residual noise photons in a readout resonator become a major source of dephasing for a superconducting qubit when the resonator is optimized for a fast, high-fidelity dispersive readout. Here, we propose and demonstrate a nonlinear Purcell filter that suppresses such an undesirable dephasing process without sacrificing the readout performance. When a readout pulse is applied, the filter automatically reduces the effective linewidth of the readout resonator, increasing the sensitivity of the qubit to the input field. The noise tolerance of the device we have fabricated is shown to be enhanced by a factor of 3 relative to a device with a linear filter. The measurement rate is enhanced by another factor of 3 by utilizing the bifurcation of the nonlinear filter. A readout fidelity of 99.4% and a quantum nondemolition fidelity of 99.2% are achieved using a 40-ns readout pulse. The nonlinear Purcell filter will be an effective tool for realizing a fast, high-fidelity readout without compromising the coherence time of the qubit.

Fast high-fidelity quantum nondemolition readout of a superconducting qubit with tunable transverse couplings

Bryan Gard, Zachary Parrott, Kurt A. Jacobs +2 more

Dispersive readout, the current standard for measuring superconducting qubits, relies on relatively easy to engineer, static transverse coupling between a qubit and a detuned cavity mode. However, this method requires circuit design trade-offs between qubit-cavity coupling, cavity-feedline coupling, detuning, and the resultant decoherence introduced by the cavity mode. Additionally, the criteria for performing quantum nondemolition measurements, including reduced cavity photon numbers, further limits speed and fidelity. In this work, we introduce a circuit with pulse-tunable qubit-cavity and cavity-feedline couplings so that the entire qubit-measurement process can be fully optimized. Here, the core measurement process resembles a quantum gate operation between the qubit and the cavity, with the cavity acting like an ancilla, storing the qubit-state information. To fully explore time-dependent effects of the full qubit-cavity dynamics, we go beyond the rotating-wave, Jaynes-Cummings, or dispersive approximations, to develop a pulsed-measurement protocol. In addition, we propose a realistic circuit architecture that can provide a very fast, high-fidelity, QND measurement with near-unit efficiency.
