• Abstract: The fluxonium qubit has emerged as a promising candidate for superconducting quantum computing due to its long coherence times and high-fidelity gates. Nonetheless, further scaling up and improving performance remain critical challenges for establishing fluxoniums as a viable alternative to transmons. A key obstacle lies in developing scalable coupling architectures. In this work, we introduce a scalable fluxonium architecture that enables decoupling of qubit states while maintaining tunable couplings between non-computational states. Beyond the well-studied ZZ crosstalk, we identify that an always-on interaction involving non-computational levels can significantly degrade the fidelities of initialization, control, and readout in large systems, thereby impeding scalability. We demonstrate that this issue can be mitigated by implementing tunable couplings for fluxonium's plasmon transitions, meanwhile enabling fast, high-fidelity gates with passive ZZ suppression. Furthermore, since fluxonium transitions span multiple frequency octaves, we emphasize the importance of carefully designing coupling mechanisms and parameters to suppress residual interactions.
