Charge and Flux Noise from Nonequilibrium Quasiparticle Energy Distributions in Superconducting Wires

Charge and Flux Noise from Nonequilibrium Quasiparticle Energy Distributions in Superconducting Wires

The quasiparticle density observed in low-temperature superconducting circuits is several orders of magnitude higher than the value expected at thermal equilibrium. The tunneling of this excess of quasiparticles across Josephson junctions is recognized as one of the main loss and decoherence mechanisms in superconducting qubits. Here we propose an additional …
