FerBo: a noise resilient qubit hybridizing Andreev and fluxonium states

The paper proposes "FerBo," a novel superconducting qubit that achieves robustness against both relaxation and dephasing by hybridizing fermionic Andreev levels with a bosonic LC circuit mode while leveraging phase-space wavefunction delocalization similar to fluxonium.

Time-dependent electron transfer and energy dissipation in condensed media

This paper employs a time-dependent Newns-Anderson-Schmickler model with Keldysh Green's functions and semiclassical trajectories to demonstrate how adsorbate motion and solvent coupling non-adiabatically suppress electron transfer while facilitating energy dissipation into electron-hole pairs, ultimately deriving an analytical expression for the average energy transfer rate in the slow-motion limit.

Radiofrequency cascade readout of coupled spin qubits

This paper introduces a radiofrequency electron-cascade readout method for silicon spin qubits that utilizes alternating-current electron co-tunnelling to achieve a signal-to-noise ratio enhancement of over 35 dB, enabling fast, high-fidelity singlet-triplet readout and coherent spin control without the need for proximal charge sensors.
