Novel component designs, be they full qubits, or different styles of couplers, are a significant part of superconducting qubit research. Implementing them into a chip design with experiments in mind to test the effectiveness of such novel components is an important step in said research.
Description
You, the quantum hardware designer, got the following device layout, where a transmon is coupled capacitively to a coplanar waveguide (CPW) bus readout resonator. You are also provided with the design’s Maxwell capacitance matrix extracted from an EM finite element simulation (also provided as a separate Q3D output text file).
In addition, you are given these parameters:
Junction inductance: 10 nH
Junction capacitance: 2 fF
Resonator frequency: 8 GHz
Resonator characteristic impedance: 50 Ohm
Resonator phase velocity: 0.404314 * speed of light
1) Use the new lumped model circuit analysis library in Qiskit Metal to find the dressed frequency and the anharmonicity of the qubit and the dispersive shift between the qubit and the readout resonator.
2) How would you change your design to lower the anharmonicity of the qubit? What does that mean consequently in terms of the values in the Maxwell capacitance matrix? What about lowering the dispersive shift? (Hint: understanding the structure of this matrix is certainly helpful, https://www.fastfieldsolvers.com/Papers/The_Maxwell_Capacitance_Matrix_WP110301_R02.pdf )
