Numerous experiments have shown that high-power dispersive transmon readout can lead to unexpected state transitions. Significant theoretical efforts have been made to describe these transitions using a simplified model, avoiding the need to account for the full Lindbladian dynamics of the coupled resonator-transmon system [1,2,3,4]. In this study, we employ a semi-classical effective drive model combined with Floquet theory and compare its predictions with experimental results from a transmon qudit. The high controllability and the readout capabilities of the qudit make it the perfect tool to study measurement-induced transitions. Our findings reveal that the semi-classical model accurately predicts critical photon numbers, identifies the states involved in the transitions, and quantifies the affected population.
