Abstract
Methods and systems for mitigating the effects of defects in a quantum processor are provided. A mitigation system uses an iterative process of applying light pulses and examining qubit relaxation times to eliminate or minimize two-level system (TLS) interaction with qubits. The system applies a first light pulse to illuminate a quantum processor having one or more qubits. The system receives qubit relaxation times that are measured at different electric field frequencies after applying the first light pulse. The system applies a second light pulse to illuminate the quantum processor upon determining that the received qubit relaxation times indicates presence of a strongly coupled TLS in the quantum processor.
