(color online) (a) 2D energy spectrum of the Xmon qubit. The Xmon’s as a function of DC bias is shown in this 2D S21 spectrum, and the inset is the avoidcross of the energy spectrum of the Xmon and resonator around . (b) Two-tone energy spectrum of the Xmon. The Xmon is biased at the maximum frequency point, a continuous microwave pump is applied at to the transmission line, and a weak frequency-sweeping probe is applied to detect the scattering spectrum of two upper levels of the qubit. As the pump power increases and the population of state |e〉 increases, the scattering signal of two upper levels |e〉 ↔ |f〉 can be detected.
