• Abstract summary: We propose to exploit the features in the dispersive shift to improve qubit readout. Specifically, we report on theoretical simulations showing improved readout times and error rates by performing the readout at a flux bias point. We expand the scheme to include different error channels, and show that with an integration time of 155 ns, flux-pulse-assisted readout offers about 5 times improvement in the signal to noise ratio.

• Abstract: Much attention has focused on the transmon architecture for large-scale superconducting quantum devices, however, the fluxonium qubit has emerged as a possible successor. With a shunting inductor in parallel to a Josephson junction, the fluxonium offers larger anharmonicity and stronger protection against dielectric loss, leading to higher coherence times as compared to conventional transmon qubits. The interplay between the inductive and Josephson energy potentials of the fluxonium qubit leads to a rich dispersive shift landscape when tuning the external flux. Here we propose to exploit the features in the dispersive shift to improve qubit readout. Specifically, we report on theoretical simulations showing improved readout times and error rates by performing the readout at a flux bias point with large dispersive shift. We expand the scheme to include different error channels, and show that with an integration time of 155 ns, flux-pulse-assisted readout offers about 5 times improvement in the signal to noise ratio. Moreover, we show that the performance improvement persists in the presence of finite measurement efficiency combined with quasi-static flux noise, and also when considering the increased Purcell rate at the flux-pulse-assisted readout point. We suggest a set of reasonable energy parameters for the fluxonium architecture that will allow for the implementation of our proposed flux-pulse-assisted readout scheme.

  State-of-the-art readout is based on a dispersive cross-Kerr coupling between a qubit and its readout resonator. We present a new scheme that uses the quarton coupler to facilitate a large (greater than 250 MHz) cross-Kerr between a transmon qubit and its readout resonator. Full master equation simulations show a 5 ns readout time with greater than 99% readout and QND fidelity.

• Tunable coupling scheme for implementing two-qubit gates on fluxonium qubits [0.0]
  The superconducting fluxonium circuit is an RF-SQUID-type flux qubit that uses a large inductance built from an array of Josephson junctions or a high kinetic inductance material. In contrast to the transmon qubit, the anharmonicity of fluxonium can be large and positive, allowing for better separation between the low energy qubit manifold of the circuit and higher-lying excited states. We propose a tunable coupling scheme for implementing two-qubit gates on fixed-frequency fluxonium qubits, biased at half flux quantum.
