Investigation on Decoherence of Superconducting Flux Qubit with Mutual Inductance Coupling

Lihua Wang

In Born-Markov approximation,according to Bloch-Redfield equation,the method to calculate the relaxation time T1 and decoherence time T2 of superconducting qubit is given.Based on this,the decoherence phenomenon of superconducting flux qubit with mutual inductance coupling is investigated.The energy relaxation time T1 and decoherence time T2 of this superconducting qubit is also obtained.The results show that for the flux qubit under investigation,the dephasing time T,the energy relaxation time T1 from high level |j〉 to low level |i〉,and the decoherence time T2 of the quantum system are all proportional to dissipation when other conditions are invariant and the environment thermal bath is equivalent to a pure resistance.

Locating Two-Level Systems in a Superconducting Xmon Qubit

Xin-Xin Yang, Xiaoyan Yang, Liang-Liang Guo +5 more

One significant source of decoherence in superconducting circuits is known as two-level systems (TLSs), found in amorphous oxide layers. These circuits can, however, also be utilized as spectral and temporal TLS probes. Comprehensive investigations on the physics of TLSs are now possible thanks to recent advancements in superconducting qubits. Here, we simultaneously measure the tunable Xmon qubit decoherence time as well as the resonance frequency for more than 3 days to investigate stochastic fluctuations. Time-domain Allan deviation and frequency-domain power spectral density analysis indicate that two TLSs in near resonance with the qubit are responsible for the fluctuations. From the extracted oscillation in T1 decay, we locate the two TLSs near the junctions.

Quantum Coherent Tunable Coupling of Superconducting Qubits

A. O. Niskanen, K. Harrabi, Fumiki Yoshihara +3 more

To do large-scale quantum information processing, it is necessary to control the interactions between individual qubits while retaining quantum coherence. To this end, superconducting circuits allow for a high degree of flexibility. We report on the time-domain tunable coupling of optimally biased superconducting flux qubits. By modulating the nonlinear inductance of an additional coupling element, we parametrically induced a two-qubit transition that was otherwise forbidden. We observed an on/off coupling ratio of 19 and were able to demonstrate a simple quantum protocol.
