contents By coupling a semiconductor-based planar Josephson junction to a superconducting resonator, we investigate the Andreev bound states in the junction using dispersive readout techniques. Using electrostatic gating to create a narrow constriction in the junction, our measurements unveil a strong coupling interaction between the resonator and the Andreev bound states. This enables the mapping of isolated tunable Andreev bound states, with an observed transparency of up to 99.94\% along with an average induced superconducting gap of $\sim 150 μ$eV. Exploring the gate parameter space further elucidates a non-monotonic evolution of multiple Andreev bound states with varying gate voltage. Complimentary tight-binding calculations of an Al-InAs planar Josephson junction with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling provide insight into possible mechanisms responsible for such behavior. Our findings highlight the subtleties of the Andreev spectrum of Josephson junctions fabricated on superconductor-semiconductor heterostructures and offering potential applications in probing topological states in these hybrid platforms.
