The fundamental excitations in superconductors—Bogoliubov quasiparticles—can be either
a resource or a liability in superconducting devices: they are what enables photon detection …

At non-zero temperatures, superconductors contain excitations known as Bogoliubov
quasiparticles (QPs). The mesoscopic dynamics of QPs inform the design of quantum …

Nonequilibrium quasiparticles represent a significant source of decoherence in
superconducting quantum circuits. Here we investigate the mechanism of quasiparticle …

Quasiparticle (qp) poisoning is a major issue that impairs the operation of various
superconducting devices. Even though these devices are often operated at temperatures …

Non-equilibrium quasiparticles can deteriorate the performance of superconducting qubits
by reducing their coherence. We are investigating a source of quasiparticles that has been …

Owing to the low-loss propagation of electromagnetic signals in superconductors,
Josephson junctions constitute ideal building blocks for quantum memories, amplifiers …

Identifying, quantifying, and suppressing decoherence mechanisms in qubits are important
steps towards the goal of engineering a quantum computer or simulator. Superconducting …

Superconducting devices, based on the Cooper pairing of electrons, play an important role
in existing and emergent technologies, ranging from radiation detectors, to quantum …

One of the leading candidate platforms for a useful quan tum processor, however, is
constructed from components that don't evoke a picture of tiny, microscopic particles with …

Out of equilibrium quasiparticles (QPs) are one of the main sources of decoherence in
superconducting quantum circuits and one that is particularly detrimental in devices with …
