Thrilled our paper on the non-QND character of the dispersive readout is out in PRX! We’ve called the effect ‘transmon ionization’, though the name is up for debate. For fun, here’s our ‘qubit going boink’ illustration inspired by Calvin and Hobbes! 😄.

Increasing the amplitude of the measurement drive in a dispersive superconducting qubit readout rapidly leads to non-QNDness. In this preprint we show that a variety of approaches explain those observations. @TheSQuaD_IQ @IQ_USherbrooke .

I'm hosting a fireside chat with Alain Aspect tomorrow @IQ_USherbrooke @USherbrooke. What would you ask him? For very interesting insights into his Nobel Prize-winning work, including accounts of discussions with Bell and Feynman, check this out:
