Decoding Qubit Decoherence: The Role of Material Defects
![Computed tunnel splitting for oxygen-hydrogen and oxygen-deuterium defects exhibits an exponential dependence on the mass-scaled phonon coordinate $Q^{\prime}=Q\sqrt{m/m\_{\mathrm{Nb}}}$, as demonstrated using a four-dimensional Hamiltonian, with distinct behaviors observed for vibrational masses corresponding to vanadium (circles), niobium (squares), and tantalum (triangles), aligning with existing experimental data from reference [29].](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.18156v1/x3.png)
A new theoretical framework details how lattice distortions and anharmonic couplings within superconducting qubit materials drive decoherence, offering insights for improved qubit design.
Games Where You Can Live Another Life
This list isn’t just about life simulation games; it also features role-playing and action-adventure titles that let you immerse yourself in a world, make meaningful decisions, and create a unique, personal experience.
Job Listing Leaks New Spyro the Dragon Game
