Resolving quantum jumps of superconducting qubits requires fast, high-fidelity readout, which can be enabled by a superconducting parametric amplifier as a first amplifier stage for the readout signal. We use the Dimer Josephson Junction Array Amplifier (DJJAA) to measure quantum jump traces of a transmon qubit dispersively coupled to a readout resonator and placed inside a 3D waveguide.
The measured coherence times of the transmon are sufficiently long compared to the integration time needed for qubit state discrimination. The quantum jumps follow Poisson statistics and we find that the T1 during readout is significantly reduced compared to the free evolution T1. Also, the effective qubit temperature saturates at approximately 50 mK even though the qubit is thermally anchored to the mixing chamber stage of a dilution refrigerator at 20 mK.
