Fast and accurate readout and initialization are essential for quantum error correction. In superconducting qubits, dispersive readout with a detuned resonator is commonly used. However, increasing the photon number can cause unwanted state leakage, and the resonator response can limit the readout speed. In this work, we use a dimon with two modes that have very different external coupling strengths. This enables broadband, low-photon-number shelving readout and fast initialization based on the lifetime difference between the two modes.
