Summary

A tunable inductive bridge suppressed injected dephasing by more than 30 decibels.

Placed in a fixed-frequency transmon readout chain, the switch transmitted only during measurement. It did not measurably change baseline coherence or fidelity, but suppressed dephasing from injected amplifier-like broadband noise by more than 30 dB. The result motivates an integrated isolator; it is not yet a complete replacement across quantum processors.

Why it matters
