RF Control and Measurement of Superconducting Qubits

Abstract : This is the final report for the ARO/LPS project at Yale University, on the RF control and measurements of superconducting qubits. During this project, we performed the proposed research work, which was revolving around four major axes: I. The improvement of qubit coherence by investigating the nature of the various sources of decoherence, II. The improvement of readout fidelity by establishing the parameters influencing the efficiency and speed, III. The novel manipulation and entanglement of multiple qubits by developing gate hardware, protocols and room temperature electronics extendable to systems comprising more than two qubits, and IV. The development of a scalable architecture combining superconducting linear resonators and superconducting qubit. The overall goal of the project was to assess the potential of superconducting qubits for the construction of a quantum computer based on superconducting Josephson circuits.

Structural Observability II: A Threshold Condition for Quantum Outcome Formation and Its Experimental Consequences

Mark Dukes

RECORD 2 — Structural Observability II Description Structural Observability II: A Threshold Condition for Quantum Outcome Formation and Its Experimental Consequences This paper develops the experimental consequences of the Structural Observability (SO) framework introduced in Structural Observability I. The framework defines a threshold condition for outcome formation based on a record-strength function R = D · S, where D is distinguishability and S is stability. The SO condition is strictly stronger than decoherence and predicts a regime in which which-path distinguishability is high (D ≈ 1) while interference persists in raw, unpost-selected detection statistics due to sub-threshold record formation. Four independent experimental predictions are developed across orthogonal parameter axes (time, geometry, environmental stability, and accessibility), connected by a single parameter Rc. A cross-consistency requirement—one parameter, four experiments, one constraint—provides a central falsifiability condition. A parameter-based retrodictive analysis using published superconducting qubit calibration data is also presented, establishing a concrete point of contact between the framework and existing experimental systems. This work forms Part II of the Structural Observability program and depends on the framework developed in Structural Observability I.

Dissipative dynamics of superconducting hybrid qubit systems

Enrique Montes, Jesús M Calero, John Henry Reina

We perform a theoretical study of composed superconducting qubit systems for the case of a coupled qubit configuration based on a hybrid qubit circuit made of both charge and phase qubits, which are coupled via a σ x ⊗ σ z interaction. We compute the system's eigen-energies in terms of the qubit transition frequencies and the strength of the inter-qubit coupling, and describe the sensitivity of the energy crossing/anti-crossing features to such coupling. We compute the hybrid system's dissipative dynamics for the cases of i) collective and ii) independent decoherence, whereby the system interacts with one common and two different baths of harmonic oscillators, respectively. The calculations have been performed within the Bloch-Redfield formalism and we report the solutions for the populations and the coherences of the system's reduced density matrix. The dephasing and relaxation rates are explicitly calculated as a function of the heat bath temperature.
