High-fidelity qubit readout is an essential requirement for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. In theory, within the dispersive readout scheme, the state discrimination can be improved significantly if the resonator’s photon population increases [1]. However, in practice the optimal photon number does usually not exceed 2.5 photons [2], and parametric amplifiers are needed to achieve a substantial signal-to-noise ratio.
In order to investigate the limitations of the readout fidelity we used a fluxonium qubit with a granular aluminum superinductance [3] having the advantage of reduced nonlinearity in comparison to previously used Josephson junction arrays. We demonstrate qubit measurements without a parametric amplifier at readout powers corresponding up to 200 photons in the resonator.
