Abstract
A theoretical interpretation of the recent experiments of Astafiev et al. on the T1-relaxation rate in Josephson charge qubits is proposed. The experimentally observed reproducible nonmonotonic dependence of T1 on the splitting EJ of the qubit levels suggests further specification of the previously proposed models of the background charge noise. From our point of view the most promising is the “Andreev fluctuator” model of the noise. In this model the fluctuator is a Cooper pair that tunnels from a superconductor and occupies a pair of localized electronic states. Within this model one can naturally explain both the average linear T1(EJ) dependence and the irregular fluctuations.
