• Abstract: Progress in fabrication of semiconductor and superconductor qubits has greatly diminished the number of decohering defects, thus decreasing the devastating low-frequency $1/f$ noise and extending the qubits' coherence times (dephasing time $T_2^*$ and the echo decay time $T_2$). However, large qubit-to-qubit variation of the coherence properties remains a problem, making it difficult to produce a large-scale register where all qubits have a uniformly high quality. In this work we show that large variability is a characteristic feature of a qubit dephased by a sparse bath made of many ($n\gg 1$) decohering defects, coupled to the qubit with similar strength. We model the defects as two-level fluctuators (TLFs) whose transition rates $\gamma$ are sampled from a log-uniform distribution over an interval $[\gamma_{m},\gamma_M]$, which is a standard model for $1/f$ noise. We investigate decoherence by such a bath in the limit of high-quality qubit, i.e.\ when the TLF density $d$ is small (the limit of sparse bath, with $d=n/w\ll 1$, where $n$ is the number of TLFs and $w=\ln{[\gamma_M/\gamma_{m}]}$ is the log-width of the distribution). We show that different realizations of the bath produce very similar noise power spectra $S(f)\sim 1/f$, but lead to drastically different coherence times $T_2^*$ and $T_2$. Thus, the spectral density $S(f)$ does not determine coherence of a qubit coupled to a sparse TLF bath, as opposed to a dense bath; instead, decoherence is controlled by only a few exceptional fluctuators, determined by their value of $\gamma$. We show that removing only two of these TLFs greatly increases $T_2$ and $T_2^*$ times. Our findings help theoretical understanding and further improvements in the coherence properties of semiconductor and superconductor qubits, battling the $1/f$ noise in these platforms.

  Temporal fluctuations in the superconducting qubit lifetime, $T_$, bring up additional challenges in building a fault-tolerant quantum computer. We report $T_$ measurements on the qubits with different geometrical footprints and surface dielectrics as a function of the temperature. We find that $Gamma_$ variances in the qubit with a small footprint are more susceptible to the QP and TLS fluctuations than those in the large-footprint qubits.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  We study the distribution over measurement outcomes of noisy random quantum circuits in the low-fidelity regime. For local noise that is sufficiently weak and unital, correlations (measured by the linear cross-entropy benchmark) between the output distribution $p_textnoisy$ of a generic noisy circuit instance shrink exponentially. If the noise is incoherent, the output distribution approaches the uniform distribution $p_textunif$ at precisely the same rate.

  We study the fidelity and the entanglement entropy for the ground states of quantum systems that have infinite-order quantum phase transitions. In particular, we consider the quantum O(2) model with a spin-$S$ truncation, where there is an infinite-order Gaussian (IOG) transition for $S = 1$. We show that the height of the peak in the fidelity susceptibility ($chi_F$) converges to a finite thermodynamic value as a power law of $1/L$ for the IOG transition and as $1/ln(L)$ for BKT transitions.
