• Abstract: We investigate the pure dephasing of a Josephson qubit due to the spectral diffusion of two-level systems that are close to resonance with the qubit. We identify the parameter regime in which this pure dephasing rate can be of the order of the energy relaxation rate and, thus, the relation $T_2 = 2 T_1$ is violated for the qubit. This regime is reached if the dynamics of the thermal TLSs responsible for the spectral diffusion is sufficiently slower than the energy relaxation of the qubit. By adding periodic bias modulating the qubit frequency or TLS excitation energies we show that this pure dephasing mechanism can be mitigated, allowing enhancement of superconducting qubits coherence time. Mitigating pure dephasing, even if it is subdominant, is of special significance in view of recent suggestions for converting the dominant relaxation process ($T_1$) into erasure errors, leaving pure dephasing as the bottleneck for efficient quantum computation.

  Two-level systems (TLS) are the major source of dephasing of spin qubits in numerous quantum computing platforms. We show that when an oscillating field is applied to a TLS, resonance can occur and the noise spectrum is moved to higher frequencies. Details of this effect depend on the physical properties of the noise sources.

  Two-level systems (TLS) of unclear physical origin are a major contributor to decoherence in superconducting qubits. We propose a novel method that requires only a microwave drive and dispersive readout, and thus also works fixed-frequency qubits.

  A topological frequency converter represents a dynamical counterpart of the integer quantum Hall effect. We consider dissipative channels corresponding to spontaneous decay and dephasing in the instantaneous eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian. We find a transition from the unperturbed dynamics to a quantum watchdog effect, which destroys any power transfer in the strong coupling limit.

• Characterization of loss mechanisms in a fluxonium qubit [25.014343643597424]
  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.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
