Discrete charge fluctuations, routinely observed in semiconductor quantum dot devices, may contribute significantly to device drift and errors resulting from qubit miscalibration. Understanding the nature and origins of these discrete…
Electron spins in silicon quantum dots are excellent qubits due to their long coherence times, scalability, and compatibility with advanced semiconductor technology. Although high gate fidelities can be achieved with spin qubits, charge…
We report observations of discrete charge states of a coherent dielectric two-level system (TLS) that is strongly coupled to an offset-charge-sensitive superconducting transmon qubit. We measure an offset charge of 0.072$e$ associated with…
Charge noise in semiconducting quantum dots has been observed to have a 1/f spectrum. We propose a model in which a pair of quantum dots are coupled to a 2D bath of fluctuating two level systems (TLS) that have electric dipole moments and…
Amorphous dielectric materials have been known to host two-level systems (TLSs) for more than four decades. Recent developments on superconducting resonators and qubits enable detailed studies on the physics of TLSs. In particular,…
Here we find the increase in 1/f noise of superconducting resonators at low temperatures to be completely incompatible with the standard tunneling model (STM) of Two Level Systems (TLS), which has been used to describe low-frequency noise…
We analyze charge fluctuations in a parasitic state strongly coupled to a superconducting Josephson-junction-based charge detector. The charge dynamics of the state resembles that of electron transport in a quantum dot with two charge…
We theoretically investigate the charge noise and dephasing in a metallic device in close proximity to a spin incoherent Luttinger liquid with a small but finite current. The frequency dependence of the charge noise exhibits a loss of…
Recent experiments on a range of engineered quantum systems have highlighted the important role of interacting two-level systems (TLSs) in modifying device properties and generating fluctuations. Focusing on the case of an oscillator…
Quantum fluctuations of the charge in the single electron box are investigated. Based on a diagrammatic expansion we calculate the average island charge number and the effective charging energy in third order in the tunneling conductance.…
Silicon quantum dot qubits show great promise but suffer from charge noise with a 1/f^\alpha spectrum, where f is frequency and \alpha \lesssim 1. It has recently been proposed that 1/f^\alpha noise spectra can emerge from a few thermally…
Measurements of the temperature and bias dependence of Single Electron Transistors (SETs) in a dilution refrigerator show that charge noise increases linearly with refrigerator temperature above a voltage-dependent threshold temperature,…
We investigate bias-driven non-equilibrium quantum phase transitions in a paradigmatic quantum-transport setup: an interacting quantum dot coupled to non-interacting metallic leads. Using the Random Phase Approximation, which is exact in…
Structural two level systems (TLSs) ubiquitous in amorphous solids are dramatically sensitive to thermal cycling to about $20$K and then back to low temperature, a process upon which the excitation energy of most TLSs is significantly…
Since the very first experiments, superconducting circuits have suffered from strong coupling to environmental noise, destroying quantum coherence and degrading performance. In state-of-the-art experiments, it is found that the relaxation…
We present a scenario for the peculiar coexistence of charge fluctuations observed in quasi-2D 1/4-filled organic conductors $\theta$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2X$ in the quantum critical regime where the charge ordering is suppressed down to zero…
Two-level systems (TLSs) are tunneling states commonly found in amorphous materials that electrically couple to qubits, resonators, and vibrational modes in materials, leading to energy loss in those systems. Recent studies suggest that…
Several experiments have shown qubit coherence decay of the form $\mathrm{exp}[-(t/T_2)^\alpha]$ due to environmental charge-noise fluctuations. We present a microscopic description for temperature dependences of the parameters $T_2$ and…
We present a low-temperature experimental test of the fluctuation theorem for electron transport through a double quantum dot. The rare entropy-consuming system trajectories are detected in the form of single charges flowing against the…
We adopt a stochastic approach to study the charge transport in transistors. In this approach, the hole and electron densities are ruled by diffusion-reaction stochastic partial differential equations satisfying local detailed balance…
