In this work we explain progress towards a muon tagging system, and associated readout scheme for a flux tunable transmon fabricated on a sapphire chip operated at ∼ 15 millikelvin. We explain a measurement system, and the debugging methods implemented. We then begin an introduction to the data analysis chain.
We implement Superconducting Qubits, and explore their capabilities as particle detectors. Our goal is to understand how qubits respond to cosmic ray interactions in the device substrate. In particular, we aim to improve the understanding of the underlying physics that causes relaxation. Future work aims to further develop this understanding, and leverage it to improve the sensitivity of qubit-based particle detectors. By using a set of scintillating paddles, we study the impact of cosmic rays in a substrate.
