Noise Characterization and Optimization in a System for the Measurement of the Coherence Time of Superconducting Qubits

Agata Barsotti, Stefano Di Pascoli, Massimo Macucci

We present the development of a project for the reliable measurement of the dephasing times of superconducting qubits. Here we focus specifically on the relevance of the phase noise affecting the system and on the approach we follow to evaluate it and to reduce its influence as much as possible. We focus, in particular, on the phase noise due to the the frequency synthesizer of the up- and down-converter, consisting of a microwave phase locked loop oscillator. We also compare the performance of our frequency synthesizer with that of a commercial evaluation board using the same integrated circuit, and discuss the role of the loop filter in determining the phase noise level in the region close to the carrier frequency.

Stroboscopic Qubit Measurement with Squeezed Illumination

Andrew Eddins, Sydney Schreppler, D.M. Toyli +6 more

Microwave squeezing represents the ultimate sensitivity frontier for superconducting qubit measurement. However, measurement enhancement has remained elusive, in part because integration with standard dispersive readout pollutes the signal channel with antisqueezed noise. Here we induce a stroboscopic light-matter coupling with superior squeezing compatibility, and observe an increase in the final signal-to-noise ratio of 24%. Squeezing the orthogonal phase slows measurement-induced dephasing by a factor of 1.8. This scheme provides a means to the practical application of squeezing for qubit measurement.

Quantum metrology based on superconducting qubits

Anton Kolosvetov, Nikolay Gusarov, Vladimir Slepnev +4 more

Quantum metrology based on superconducting qubits offers unprecedented precision in measuring fundamental physical quantities, particularly magnetic fields. In this study, we develop a modified quantum phase estimation algorithm utilizing superconducting qubits, enhanced by optimized initial state preparation, significantly improving measurement sensitivity and reducing estimation times compared to conventional techniques. To ensure practical applicability and robustness, we incorporate advanced noise modeling, including intrinsic decoherence effects such as flux-induced noise and Purcell losses. Through detailed analytical modeling and numerical simulations, we systematically evaluate sensitivity and practical implementation constraints across various superconducting qubit architectures—transmon, fluxonium, conventional flux, and C-shunt flux qubits. Our approach quantifies the critical trade-offs between coherence, measurement dynamics, and sensitivity, identifying optimal operational regimes for high-performance quantum sensing. We introduce custom circuit simulation methods enabling the analysis and optimization of arbitrary superconducting quantum devices. Our findings provide a framework for advancing quantum-enhanced magnetometry and promise to facilitate next-generation quantum sensors for fundamental physics research, gravitational field measurements, and quantum-assisted searches for dark matter candidates.
