Abstract

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 an offset charge of 0.072e associated with the two TLS eigenstates, which have a transition frequency of 2.9GHz and a relaxation time exceeding 3ms. Combining measurements in the strong dispersive and resonant regime, we quantify both transverse and longitudinal coupling of the TLS-qubit interaction. We further perform joint tracking of TLS transitions and quasiparticle tunneling dynamics but find no intrinsic correlations. This Letter demonstrates microwave-frequency TLS as a source of low-frequency charge noise.
