요약Nonequilibrium quasiparticle excitations (QPs) are a significant loss mechanism inherentto superconducting devices. There are two distinct mechanisms by which transmon qubitscouple to QPs. First, when QPs tunnel across the Josephson junction (JJ) of a transmon,they couple to the phase difference across the junction and may cause decoherence of thequantum state. Second, when QPs are generated by a high‑energy photon absorbed atthe JJ, this process likewise may cause a qubit transition. Both of these mechanisms resultin a transfer of a single charge across the JJ, causing a switch in the charge parity of thequbit. While these mechanisms share an experimental signature of a charge‑parity switch,the effectiveness of strategies to suppress charge‑parity‑switching decoherence depend onwhich mechanism is responsible. How these charge‑parity‑switching mechanisms may beexperimentally distinguished, and subsequently suppressed, is the question answered bythis thesis.In this dissertation, we present these distinct charge‑parity‑switching mechanisms, re‑ferred to as NUmber‑conserving Parity Switching (NUPS, tunneling of pre‑existing QPs)and Photon‑Assisted Parity Switching (PAPS, generation of QPs with photon absorptionat the JJ), and demonstrate their impact on transmon qubits. In doing so, we highlight theinfluence of a difference in the superconducting energy gaps of the aluminum films of thetransmon on QP tunneling. By tuning the qubit energy relative to this gap difference, weelucidate the contributions of PAPS to charge‑parity switching and QP generation.Having determined that both charge‑parity‑switching mechanisms are occurring in thequbit, we then demonstrate how both can be suppressed. PAPS is suppressed by improvedshielding and filtering, making it possible to measure a charge‑parity‑switching rate dom‑inated by NUPS. A novel experimental protocol for extracting the qubit‑state dependenceof the charge‑parity‑switching rate is then used to demonstrate that QP relax to a cold,thermalized distribution despite their highly non‑equilibrium density. As a result, NUPSis suppressed by the gap difference of the aluminum films. We demonstrate control overthis suppression by engineering the thickness of the aluminum films forming our qubits.
