Figure 8.4: Step Edge – a) Bias sequence: The qubit is reset into the operating<br />

minimum and moved to the operating bias V Operate for a few µs to allow for any<br />

tunneling. After, the qubit is biased at the readout point and the squid is ramped<br />

to measure I c . This sequence is repeated many times for each value <strong>of</strong> V Operate .<br />

b) Switching data: As V Operate is increased, the qubit state tunnels from the<br />

operating minimum (lower branch) to the neighboring minimum (higher branch).<br />

c) Probability: If the switching times are sorted using a cut<strong>of</strong>f time between the<br />

switching distributions, the probability for the state to tunnel can be extracted<br />

as a function <strong>of</strong> V Operate .<br />
