Measurement of quantum jumps of a fluxonium qubit using a Dimer Josephson Junction Array Amplifier operated at high power
ORAL
Abstract
Josephson parametric amplifiers have become an essential element in cQED dispersive readout measurement schemes, enabling single-shot qubit readout. Over the last decade there was significant progress in the increase of their saturation power [1,2,3,4], which now reaches several thousand photons per μs.
We demonstrate high saturation power in a Dimer Josephson Junction Array Amplifier [4] operating with a quantum efficiency of 60%. We use this parametric amplifier to perform dispersive readout of a fluxonium qubit with a superinductor made of granular aluminum [5]. We present quantum jump measurements acquired using up-to 100 circulating photons in the readout resonator, which allowed qubit state discrimination in tens of nanoseconds.
