A Fast-Cycle Charge Noise Measurement for Better Qubits

Defects in materials are an ongoing challenge for quantum bits, so called qubits. Solid state qubits—both spins in semiconductors and superconducting qubits—suffer from losses and noise caused by two-level-system (TLS) defects thought to reside on surfaces and in amorphous materials. Understanding and reducing the number of such defects is an ongoing challenge to the field. Superconducting resonators couple to TLS defects and provide a handle that can be used to better understand TLS. We develop noise measurements of superconducting resonators at very low temperatures (20 mK) compared to the resonant frequency, and low powers, down to single photon occupation.
