Abstract: Over the past decade, quantum circuits have been transitioning from being useful solely in fundamental physics research to having applications in a wide variety of fields. This has been made possible by the advancements in the coherence, coupling and optimal control of various elements of these quantum circuits. The experiments presented in this thesis solve critical challenges for the above mentioned areas. We provide the first experimental realization of a protected qubit having simultaneous robustness to relaxation and dephasing processes. We show a 40-fold improvement in the coherence time in fluxonium qubit by harnessing insights from Floquet engineering. Furthermore, we also demonstrate a coupling architecture for suppressing qubit-qubit crosstalk. The above works unlock new directions for improving the state of quantum systems.
