Abstract
Quasiparticles, especially the ones near the Josephson junctions in the superconducting qubits, are known as an important source of decoherence. By injecting quasiparticles into a quantum chip, we characterized the diffusion feature by measuring the energy relaxation time and the residual excited-state population of a transmon qubit. From the extracted transition rates, we phenomenologically modeled the quasiparticle diffusion in a superconducting circuit that contained “hot” nonequilibrium quasiparticles in addition to low-energy ones.
