Two-level system (TLS) defects in dielectrics cause decoherence in superconducting circuits, yet their origin, frequency distribution, and dipole moments remain poorly understood. Current probes, primarily based on qubits or resonators,…
Quantum two-level systems (TLSs) are present in the materials of qubits and are considered defects because they limit qubit coherence. For superconducting qubits, the quintessential Josephson junction barrier is made of amorphous alumina,…
