- Abstract summary: We characterize a fluxonium qubit with in situ tunability of its Josephson energy at different flux biases and different Josephson energy values.
The relaxation rate at qubit energy values, ranging more than one order of magnitude around the thermal energy $k_B T$, can be quantitatively explained by a combination of dielectric loss and $1/f$ flux noise with a crossover point.
In particular, as increasing Josephson energy thus decreasing qubit frequency at the flux insensitive spot, we find that the qubit exhibits increasingly weaker coupling to TLS defects.

- Abstract: Using a fluxonium qubit with in situ tunability of its Josephson energy, we
characterize its energy relaxation at different flux biases as well as
different Josephson energy values. The relaxation rate at qubit energy values,
ranging more than one order of magnitude around the thermal energy $k_B T$, can
be quantitatively explained by a combination of dielectric loss and $1/f$ flux
noise with a crossover point. The amplitude of the $1/f$ flux noise is
consistent with that extracted from the qubit dephasing measurements at the
flux sensitive points. In the dielectric loss dominant regime, the loss is
consistent with that arises from the electric dipole interaction with
two-level-system (TLS) defects. In particular, as increasing Josephson energy
thus decreasing qubit frequency at the flux insensitive spot, we find that the
qubit exhibits increasingly weaker coupling to TLS defects thus desirable for
high-fidelity quantum operations.

We investigate strategies to mitigate losses to the family of defects that strongly couple to qubits.
We show that the frequency configuration of the defects is rearranged by warming up the sample to room temperature.
We then explore methods for fabricating qubits with a reduced number of strongly coupled defect modes.
