Protecting superconducting qubits from radiation
We characterize a superconducting qubit before and after embedding it along with its package in an absorptive medium. We observe a drastic improvement in the effective qubit temperature and over a tenfold improvement in the relaxation time up to 5.7 $\mu$s. Our results suggest the presence of external radiation inside …
