We report on a fast in-situ control of superconducting quantum circuits. Namely, the fast tunability of an electromagnetic environment coupled to a superconducting resonator and a novel fast readout scheme for superconducting qubits. As tunable environment, we utilize a recently-developed quantum-circuit refrigerator (QCR) to experimentally demonstrate a dynamic tunability in the total damping rate of the resonator up to a factor of 30, with a consequently theoretically predicted change in the internal damping rate by four orders of magnitude. For the fast qubit readout, we experimentally implement a method of measuring a qubit by driving it close to the frequency of a dispersively coupled bosonic mode. Our experiments pave the way towards significant speedup in two relevant operations of a superconducting quantum computer, qubit reset and readout.
