Towards understanding two-level-systems in amorphous solids: insights from quantum circuits

C Müller, JH Cole, J Lisenfeld - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Amorphous solids show surprisingly universal behaviour at low temperatures. The
prevailing wisdom is that this can be explained by the existence of two-state defects within …

Two-level-system dynamics in a superconducting qubit due to background ionizing radiation

T Thorbeck, A Eddins, I Lauer, DT McClure, M Carroll - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS

Observation of discrete charge states of a coherent two-level system in a superconducting qubit

BJ Liu, YY Wang, T Sheffer, C Wang - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We report observations of discrete charge states of a coherent two-level system (TLS) that is
strongly coupled to an offset-charge-sensitive superconducting transmon qubit. We measure …

Spectrum and coherence properties of the current-mirror qubit

DK Weiss, ACY Li, DG Ferguson, J Koch - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
The current-mirror circuit [A. Kitaev, arXiv: cond-mat/0609441] exhibits a robust ground-state
degeneracy and wave functions with disjoint support for appropriate circuit parameters. In …
