Quasiparticle-induced transitions in a fluxonium qubit

Maksim Litskevich, Kesavan Manivannan, Benjamin Byrd +4 more

Quasiparticles are a prominent decoherence source in superconducting qubits, but their effects are notoriously difficult to isolate in fluxonium. Unlike the transmon, fluxonium is insensitive to offset charge, precluding charge-parity detection of quasiparticle tunneling. We address this challenge by measuring the excitation and de-excitation rates in a fluxonium qubit under controlled on-chip quasiparticle injection and isolating the quasiparticle-induced contribution by subtracting the background transition rates. We show that to accurately model the external magnetic flux dependence of the quasiparticle-induced transition rates, it is necessary to account for the superconducting gap asymmetry across the Josephson junctions. A comparison between theory and experiment constrains the relative quasiparticle densities in the small junction and the junction array and helps explain previously reported discrepancies between the bounds on the quasiparticle densities inferred for these two circuit elements.
