4 Random Telegraph Signals (RTS) and l/f Noise X(t) time (t) For a single characteristic time τ: S RTS (f) τ/[1 + (2πfτ) 2 ] For example, electron hops between traps in a semiconductor The superposition of Lorentzians from uncorrelated processes with a broad distribution of τ yields 1/f noise (Machlup 1954) To generate 1/f noise at frequency f 0, the particle must reside in a well for time 1/f 0 log S x (f) 1/f 2 log f 1/f For example, for f 0 = 10 4 Hz, 1/f 0 ~ 3 h

6 1/f Noise in Superconducting Devices: Three basic mechanisms 1. Critical current noise: Trapping and release of electrons in tunnel barriers modify the transparency of the junction, causing its resistance and critical current to fluctuate. At low temperatures, the process may involve quantum tunneling. 2(a). Charge noise: Hopping of electrons between traps induces fluctuating charges on to nearby films and junctions 2(b). Ohmic charge noise: At high frequencies, so called ohmic charge noise arises from transitions between the quantized energy levels in the traps that produce 1/f charge noise at low frequencies. ( Ohmic because in the original Caldeira-Leggett model of relaxation and decoherence in Josephson junctions the loss mechanism was a resistor modeled by an array of quantum oscillators.)

8 3. Flux noise: Flux-sensitive devices (SQUIDs, flux qubits.) exhibit flux noise. This arises from the random reversal of spins at the surface of the superconductor thereby coupling magnetic flux into the loop of the SQUID or flux qubit. I Φ V V δv What do we see when we bias here? δφ Φ Φ 0

13 From SQUID to Qubit The Ubiquitous 1/f Noise Three-Junction Flux Qubit Relaxation and Decoherence The C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Origin The C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Recent Experiments Concluding Remarks
14 T 1 Relaxation time: Relaxation and Decoherence Time to relax from first excited state e> to ground state g> Energy loss involved The classic Caldeira-Leggett spin-boson model treats linear dissipation as a bath of harmonic oscillators and calculates the Johnson-Nyquist noise from the complex impedance of the environment. The power spectrum of this ohmic dissipation scales with frequency. T 2 Decoherence time: Time for phase difference between two eigenstates to become randomized 1/T 2 = 1/(2T 1 ) + 1/τ φ τ φ is the pure dephasing time (fluctuations in energy level splitting) Maximum value of T 2 is 2T 1
15 Previously Known Relaxation Processes Purcell effect (Purcell 1946). With the qubit embedded in a microwave transmission line cavity, spontaneous emission of photons from the qubit into the cavity produces relaxation. 1 High frequency ohmic charge noise arises from quantized energy levels in the two-level systems (TLSs) that at low frequencies produce 1/f charge noise. 2,3 Excess quasiparticles (above the thermal population) generate additional dissipation at microwave frequencies, reducing T 1. 4,5 [ 1 Houk et al., Phys. Rev Lett. 101, (2008). 2 stafiev et al., Phys. Rev Lett. 93, (2004). 3 Shnirman et al., Phys. Rev Lett. 94, (2005). 4 Martinis et al., Phys. Rev Lett. 103, (2009). 5 Catelani et al., Phys. Rev Lett. 106, (2011).]
16 Typical Values of T 1 and T 2 For many years, T 1, T 2ECHO were typically a few µs at degeneracy Famous, solitary exception: flux qubit fabricated at NEC and measured at MIT-LL 1 : T 1 = 12 µs, T 2ECHO = 23 µs More recently, six flux qubits in a 3-D cavity yielded 2 T 1 = 6-20 µs,t 2* (Ramsey) = 2 8 µs 1 Bylander et al. (2011) 2 Stern et al. (2014)
17 From SQUID to Qubit The Ubiquitous 1/f Noise Three-Junction Flux Qubit Relaxation and Decoherence The C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Origin The C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Recent Experiments Concluding Remarks
18 The C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Origin You, Hu, Ashab & Nori, Phys. Rev. B (2007) Φ q γ γ Charge noise arises from TLSs close to small junction Very small area of junction is not so easy to control, producing variations in C j and E j, and thus in qubit characteristics. Φ q γ γ Adding C s allows more flexibility in design and lower values of I q. In the presence of flux noise, since T 2 1/(dν/dΦ q ) 2 1/Ι q2, reducing I q increases T 2 while retaining high anharmonicity. Since C s >> γc j, most of the electric field energy is stored in C s, which can be designed to have a very high Q. Steffen et al. (IBM): T µs, T 2E = 9.6 µs 2T 1
19 Importance of Anharmonicity Energy Spectrum vs. Applied Flux Frequency (GHz) Φ q /Φ 0 States 0> and 1> provide an excellent approximation to a two-level system near Φ 0 /2 Anharmonicity: A = f 12 f 01 Higher anharmonicity results in faster gates since the spread of frequencies around f 01 in a microwave pulse can be greater without exciting higher states

32 Dependence of A Q on Qubit Geometry Interdigitated A Q = ( e) 2 /Hz Squares A Q = ( e) 2 /Hz Large area capacitor (C s >> C j ) stores most of electric field energy with greatly reduced electric field strength compared with that of the junctions. Reduced electric field participation of surface and interface losses. Large shunt capacitor improves qubit reproducibility: effect of variation in junction capacitance is reduced, and unwanted stray capacitances are overwhelmed.

Good agreement given wide variation in design and critical current density over five fabrication runs
36 Flux Noise: α = 0.8 It appears that α = 0.8 is maintained rather accurately over the entire frequency range of flux noise below temperatures of, say, 100 mk. A minor deviation from α = 0.8 would have a major impact. As an example, consider two flux noise spectral densities: S 1 (f) 1/f, S 2 (f) 1/f 0.8 And S 1 (1 Hz) = S 2 (1 Hz) At 5 GHz, S 2 (5 GHz)/S 1 (5 GHz) = 87! Flux 1/f noise persists from 10 4 Hz (SQUID) to 4 GHz (flux qubit) with constant slope.

38 From SQUID to Qubit The Ubiquitous 1/f Noise Three-Junction Flux Qubit Relaxation and Decoherence The C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Origin The C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Recent Experiments Concluding Remarks
39 C-Shunt Flux Qubit: Concluding Remarks Planar device. Combination of C-shunt, which increases design flexibility, and low loss materials yields: T 1 55 µs. Qubits with highest values of T 1 and T 2 have an anharmonicity as high as MHz. C-shunt which stores virtually all of the electrical energy increases reproducibility and largely eliminates the effects of stray capacitances near the small junction. Large capacitor (C s >> C j ) reduces sensitivity to charge noise. Large area increases T 1 & T 2 by reducing the electric field at its edges, and hence the coupling of the qubit to two-level systems. Flux 1/f noise extends over 14 decades of frequency, from 10 4 Hz (SQUIDs) to Hz (flux qubits). Future Simulations of the electric field losses around different capacitor designs are in progress. The C-shunt flux qubits made to date are not necessarily optimized. The trade offs between ohmic charge noise, flux noise and the Purcell effect are subtle, and detailed simulations are required to optimize the performance.
