Ramsey XY analysis for the Stark shifted phase sweep.

Overview

This analysis is a variant of RamseyXYAnalysis. In both cases, the X and Y data are treated as the real and imaginary parts of a complex oscillating signal. In RamseyXYAnalysis, the data are fit assuming a phase varying linearly with the x-data corresponding to a constant frequency and assuming an exponentially decaying amplitude. By contrast, in this model, the phase is assumed to be a third order polynomial \(\theta(x)\) of the x-data. Additionally, the amplitude is not assumed to follow a specific form. Techniques to compute a good initial guess for the polynomial coefficients inside a trigonometric function like this are not trivial. Instead, this analysis extracts the raw phase and runs fits on the extracted data to a polynomial \(\theta(x)\) directly.

The measured P1 values for a Ramsey X and Y experiment can be written in the form of a trignometric function taking the phase polynomial \(\theta(x)\):

\[\begin{split}P_X = \text{amp}(x) \cdot \cos \theta(x) + \text{offset},\\ P_Y = \text{amp}(x) \cdot \sin \theta(x) + \text{offset}.\end{split}\]

Hence the phase polynomial can be extracted as follows

\[\theta(x) = \tan^{-1} \frac{P_Y}{P_X}.\]

Because the arctangent is implemented by the atan2 function defined in \([-\pi, \pi]\), the computed \(\theta(x)\) is unwrapped to ensure continuous phase evolution.

We call attention to the fact that \(\text{amp}(x)\) is also Stark tone amplitude dependent because of the qubit frequency dependence of the dephasing rate. In general \(\text{amp}(x)\) is unpredictable due to dephasing from two-level systems distributed randomly in frequency or potentially due to qubit heating. This prevents us from precisely fitting the raw \(P_X\), \(P_Y\) data. Fitting only the phase data makes the analysis robust to amplitude dependent dephasing.

In this analysis, the phase polynomial is defined as

\[\theta(x) = 2 \pi t_S f_S(x)\]

where

\[f_S(x) = c_1 x + c_2 x^2 + c_3 x^3 + f_{\rm err},\]

denotes the Stark shift. For the lowest order perturbative expansion of a single driven qubit, the Stark shift is a quadratic function of \(x\), but linear and cubic terms and a constant offset are also considered to account for other effects, e.g. strong drive, collisions, TLS, and so forth, and frequency mis-calibration, respectively.

Fit model

This is the curve fitting analysis. The following equation(s) are used to represent curve(s).

\[\theta^\nu(x) = c_1^\nu x + c_2^\nu x^2 + c_3^\nu x^3 + f_{\rm err},\]

where \(\nu \in \{+, -\}\). The Stark shift is asymmetric with respect to \(x=0\), because of the anti-crossings of higher energy levels. In a typical transmon qubit, these levels appear only in \(f_S < 0\) because of the negative anharmonicity. To precisely fit the results, this analysis uses different model parameters for positive (\(x > 0\)) and negative (\(x < 0\)) shift domains.

Fit parameters

The following fit parameters are estimated during the analysis.

Descriptions

\(c_1^+\): The linear term coefficient of the positive Stark shift (fit parameter: stark_pos_coef_o1).
\(c_2^+\): The quadratic term coefficient of the positive Stark shift. This parameter must be positive because Stark amplitude is chosen to induce blue shift when its sign is positive. Note that the quadratic term is the primary term (fit parameter: stark_pos_coef_o2).
\(c_3^+\): The cubic term coefficient of the positive Stark shift (fit parameter: stark_pos_coef_o3).
\(c_1^-\): The linear term coefficient of the negative Stark shift. (fit parameter: stark_neg_coef_o1).
\(c_2^-\): The quadratic term coefficient of the negative Stark shift. This parameter must be negative because Stark amplitude is chosen to induce red shift when its sign is negative. Note that the quadratic term is the primary term (fit parameter: stark_neg_coef_o2).
\(c_3^-\): The cubic term coefficient of the negative Stark shift (fit parameter: stark_neg_coef_o3).
\(f_{\rm err}\): Constant phase accumulation which is independent of the Stark tone amplitude. (fit parameter: stark_ferr).
