NEXUS Qubit Analysis: Jump Rates and Efciencies

Correlated qubit errors are a hinderance to quantum computing, but when using quantum chips as a particle detector, they can be a sign of energy deposits. Using a four transmon qubit chip in the NEXUS fridge at Fermilab, we have taken data to better understand the impact ionizing radiation has on the correlated errors. To analyze this data, we need a jump detection code that is robustly tested with understood efficiencies. In this work, we describe the process of getting these efficiencies using a rolling $\chi^2$ jump detection code.

Testing the Jump Finding Code for NEXUS Qubit Analysis

We evaluate a new jump finding code to test the efficiency of this code in finding jumps of all sizes and understand how noise is mistaken for jumps and vice versa. We look at two parameters that impact the efficiency of the code. The two parameters, the jump threshold and smoothing, are then optimized to find the most efficient combination with the highest fraction of true positives and true negatives.
