abstract = {As the energy relaxation time of superconducting qubits
steadily improves, nonequilibrium quasiparticle excitations
above the superconducting gap emerge as an increasingly
relevant limit for qubit coherence. We measure fluctuations
in the number of quasiparticle excitations by continuously
monitoring the spontaneous quantum jumps between the states
of a fluxonium qubit, in conditions where relaxation is
dominated by quasiparticle loss. Resolution on the scale of
a single quasiparticle is obtained by performing quantum
nondemolition projective measurements within a time interval
much shorter than T1, using a quantum-limited amplifier
(Josephson parametric converter). The quantum jump
statistics switches between the expected Poisson
distribution and a non-Poissonian one, indicating large
relative fluctuations in the quasiparticle population, on
time scales varying from seconds to hours. This dynamics can
be modified controllably by injecting quasiparticles or by
seeding quasiparticle-trapping vortices by cooling down in a
magnetic field.},
