Qubit Flux Spectroscopy#

For flux tunable qubits, the resonance frequency of the qubit depends on the flux. This can be used to find the sweetspot.

Setup#

In this section we configure the hardware configuration which specifies the connectivity of our system.

The experiments of this tutorial are meant to be executed with a Qblox Cluster controlling a transmon system. The experiments can also be executed using a dummy Qblox device that is created via an instance of the Cluster class, and is initialized with a dummy configuration. When using a dummy device, the analysis will not work because the experiments will return np.nan values.

Configuration file#

This is a template hardware configuration file for a 2-qubit system with a flux-control line which can be used to tune the qubit frequency. We will only work with qubit 0.

The hardware connectivity is as follows, by cluster slot:

QCM (Slot 2)
- \(\text{O}^{1}\): Flux line for q0.
- \(\text{O}^{2}\): Flux line for q1.
QCM-RF (Slot 6)
- \(\text{O}^{1}\): Drive line for q0 using fixed 80 MHz IF.
- \(\text{O}^{2}\): Drive line for q1 using fixed 80 MHz IF.
QRM-RF (Slot 8)
- \(\text{O}^{1}\) and \(\text{I}^{1}\): Shared readout line for q0/q1 using a fixed LO set at 7.5 GHz.

Note that in the hardware configuration below the mixers are uncorrected, but for high fidelity experiments this should also be done for all the modules.

Quantum device settings#

Here we initialize our QuantumDevice and our qubit parameters, checkout this tutorial for further details.

In short, a QuantumDevice contains device elements where we save our found parameters. Here we are loading a template for 2 qubits, but we will only use qubit 0.

Configure external flux control#

In the case of flux-tunable transmon qubits, we need to have some way of controlling the external flux. This can be done by setting an output bias on a module of the cluster which is then connected to the flux line. If your system is not using flux-tunable transmons, then you can skip to the next section.
