Superconducting qubits often show signatures of coherent coupling to intrinsic two-level systems (TLS), which manifest themselves as avoided level crossings in spectroscopic data. We use detailed theoretical models to determine the form of the coupling between a superconducting phase qubit and a TLS. Fitting the experimental data with our theoretical model allows us to determine all relevant system parameters. A strong qubit-defect coupling is observed, with a nearly vanishing longitudinal component. Using these estimates, we quantitatively compare several existing theoretical models for the microscopic origin of TLS.
