High speed flux sampling for tunable superconducting qubits with an embedded cryogenic transducer

B. Foxen, J. Y. Mutus, E. Lucero +26

We develop a high speed on-chip flux measurement using a capacitively shunted SQUID as an embedded cryogenic transducer and apply this technique to the qualification of a near-term…

A blueprint for demonstrating quantum supremacy with superconducting qubits

C. Neill, P. Roushan, K. Kechedzhi +25

Fundamental questions in chemistry and physics may never be answered due to the exponential complexity of the underlying quantum phenomena. A desire to overcome this challenge has…

Demonstrating a Continuous Set of Two-qubit Gates for Near-term Quantum Algorithms

B. Foxen, C. Neill, A. Dunsworth +54

Quantum algorithms offer a dramatic speedup for computational problems in machine learning, material science, and chemistry. However, any near-term realizations of these algorithms…

Observation of classical-quantum crossover of 1/f flux noise and its paramagnetic temperature dependence

C. M. Quintana, Yu Chen, D. Sank +25

By analyzing the dissipative dynamics of a tunable gap flux qubit, we extract both sides of its two-sided environmental flux noise spectral density over a range of frequencies arou…

Fluctuations of Energy-Relaxation Times in Superconducting Qubits

P. V. Klimov, J. Kelly, Z. Chen +30

Superconducting qubits are an attractive platform for quantum computing since they have demonstrated high-fidelity quantum gates and extensibility to modest system sizes. Nonethele…

Characterization and Reduction of Capacitive Loss Induced by Sub-Micron Josephson Junction Fabrication in Superconducting Qubits

A. Dunsworth, A. Megrant, C. Quintana +20

Josephson junctions form the essential non-linearity for almost all superconducting qubits. The junction is formed when two superconducting electrodes come within 1 nm of eac…
