- Abstract summary: Frequency instability of superconducting resonators and qubits leads to dephasing and time-varying energy-loss and hinders quantum-processor tune-up.
Here we use a frequency-locked loop to track the resonant-frequency jitter of three different resonator types.
In all three devices we probe a dominant fluctuator, finding that its amplitude saturates with increasing drive power, but its characteristic switching rate follows the power-law dependence of quasiclassical Landau-Zener transitions.

- Abstract: Frequency instability of superconducting resonators and qubits leads to
dephasing and time-varying energy-loss and hinders quantum-processor tune-up.
Its main source is dielectric noise originating in surface oxides. Thorough
noise studies are needed in order to develop a comprehensive understanding and
mitigation strategy of these fluctuations. Here we use a frequency-locked loop
to track the resonant-frequency jitter of three different resonator types---one
niobium-nitride superinductor, one aluminium coplanar waveguide, and one
aluminium cavity---and we observe strikingly similar random-telegraph-signal
fluctuations. At low microwave drive power, the resonators exhibit multiple,
unstable frequency positions, which for increasing power coalesce into one
frequency due to motional narrowing caused by sympathetic driving of individual
two-level-system defects by the resonator. In all three devices we probe a
dominant fluctuator, finding that its amplitude saturates with increasing drive
power, but its characteristic switching rate follows the power-law dependence
of quasiclassical Landau-Zener transitions.

Tunable two-qubit couplers offer an avenue to mitigate errors in multiqubit superconducting quantum processors.
Most couplers operate in a narrow frequency band and target specific couplings, such as the spurious $ZZ$ interaction.
We introduce a superconducting coupler that alleviates these limitations by suppressing all two-qubit interactions with an exponentially large on-off ratio.

Revisiting the "Narrow Band Noise" Concept [58.720142291102135]
We report on current oscillations in quasi two-dimensional (2D) 1T-TaS2 charge-density-wave devices.
The MHz-frequency range of the oscillations and the linear dependence of the frequency of the oscillations on the current resemble the "narrow band noise"
Analysis of the biasing conditions and current indicate that the observed oscillations are related to the current instabilities due to the voltage-induced transition from the nearly commensurate to incommensurate charge-density-wave phase.
