• Abstract: The initialization of superconducting qubits is one of the essential techniques for the realization of quantum computation. In previous research, initialization above 99\% fidelity has been achieved at 280 ns. Here, we demonstrate the rapid initialization of a superconducting qubit with a quantum-circuit refrigerator (QCR). Photon-assisted tunneling of quasiparticles in the QCR can temporally increase the relaxation time of photons inside the resonator and helps release energy from the qubit to the environment. Experiments using this protocol have shown that 99\% of initialization time is reduced to 180 ns. This initialization time depends strongly on the relaxation rate of the resonator, and faster initialization is possible by reducing the resistance of the QCR, which limits the ON/OFF ratio, and by strengthening the coupling between the QCR and the resonator.

We exploit the flux-tunability of fluxonium to enable an interaction between a non-computational qubit transition and the excitation cavity. We show that our scheme has a built-in benefit in simultaneously removing the second-excited state population of the qubit, and can be easily incorporated into a large-scale fluxonium processor.

  In 2017, the invention of a quantum-circuit refrigerator inspired a series of experimental studies. Theoretically, it is predicted that state-of-the-art superconducting resonators and qubits can be reset with an infidelity lower than $10-4$ in nanoseconds. In the future, the QCR may be experimentally used to quickly reset superconducting qubits, and hence assist in the great challenge of building a practical quantum computer.
