• Abstract summary: The spontaneous emission rate (SER) is an important figure of merit for any quantum bit (qubit) We show how this can be done with a recently developed field-based description of transmon qubits coupled to an electromagnetic environment. We validate our model by computing the SER for devices similar to those found in the literature that have been well-characterized experimentally.

• Abstract: The spontaneous emission rate (SER) is an important figure of merit for any quantum bit (qubit), as it can play a significant role in the control and decoherence of the qubit. As a result, accurately characterizing the SER for practical devices is an important step in the design of quantum information processing devices. Here, we specifically focus on the experimentally popular platform of a transmon qubit, which is a kind of superconducting circuit qubit. Despite the importance of understanding the SER of these qubits, it is often determined using approximate circuit models or is inferred from measurements on a fabricated device. To improve the accuracy of predictions in the design process, it is better to use full-wave numerical methods that can make a minimal number of approximations in the description of practical systems. In this work, we show how this can be done with a recently developed field-based description of transmon qubits coupled to an electromagnetic environment. We validate our model by computing the SER for devices similar to those found in the literature that have been well-characterized experimentally. We further cross-validate our results by comparing them to simplified lumped element circuit and transmission line models as appropriate.

  Superconducting qubits are one of the most mature platforms for quantum computing. Existing analysis approaches using eigenmode solvers are cumbersome, not robust, and computationally prohibitive if devices with more than a few qubits are to be analyzed. This work begins the development of an alternative framework that we illustrate in the context of evaluating the qubit-qubit exchange coupling rate between transmon qubits.

  We introduce a single protocol to measure the dispersive shift, resonator linewidth, and drive power used in the dispersive readout of superconducting qubits. We find that the resonator linewidth is poorly controlled with a factor of 2 between the maximum and minimum measured values. We also introduce a protocol for measuring the readout system efficiency using the same power levels as are used in typical qubit readout.

  In superconducting circuit quantum information technologies, classical microwave pulses are applied to control and measure the qubit states. Currently, the design of these microwave pulses use simple theoretical or numerical models that do not account for the self-consistent interactions of how the qubit state modifies the applied microwave pulse. We present the formulation and finite element time domain discretization of a semiclassical Maxwell-Schr"odinger method for describing these self-consistent dynamics.
