abstract = {Previous studies of photon-assisted tunneling through
normal-metal–insulator–superconductor junctions have
exhibited potential for providing a convenient tool to
control the dissipation of quantum-electric circuits in
situ. However, the current literature on such a
quantum-circuit refrigerator (QCR) does not present a
detailed description for the charge dynamics of the
tunneling processes or the phase coherence of the open
quantum system. Here, we derive a master equation describing
both quantum-electric and charge degrees of freedom, and
discover that typical experimental parameters of low
temperature and yet lower charging energy yield a separation
of time scales for the charge and quantum dynamics.
Consequently, the minor effect of the different charge
states can be taken into account by averaging over the
charge distribution. We also consider applying an ac voltage
to the tunnel junction, which enables control of the decay
rate of a superconducting qubit over four orders of
magnitude by changing the drive amplitude; we find an
order-of-magnitude drop in the qubit excitation in 40 ns
and a residual reset infidelity below 10−4. Furthermore,
for the normal island, we consider the case of charging
energy and single-particle level spacing large compared to
the superconducting gap, i.e., a quantum dot. Although the
decay rates arising from such a dot QCR appear low for use
in qubit reset, the device can provide effective negative
damping (gain) to the coupled microwave resonator. The Fano
factor of such a millikelvin microwave source may be smaller
than unity, with the latter value being reached close to the
maximum attainable power.},
