Chow}, title = {Broadband filters for abatement of spontaneous emission in circuit quantum electrodynamics}, abstract = { The ability to perform fast, high-fidelity readout of quantum bits (qubits) is essential to the goal of building a quantum computer. However, coupling a fast measurement channel to a superconducting qubit typically also speeds up its relaxation via spontaneous emission. Here we use impedance engineering to design a filter by which photons may easily leave the resonator at the cavity frequency but not at the qubit frequency. We implement this broadband filter in both an on-chip and off-chip configuration. }, year = {2015}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {107}, pages = {172601}, issn = {00036951}, url = {https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.4934867}, doi = {10.1063/1.4934867}, language = {eng}, }
