Localized quasiparticles in a fluxonium with quasi-two-dimensional amorphous kinetic inductors
Trevyn F. Q. Larson, Sarah Garcia Jones, Tamás Kalmár +10
Disordered superconducting materials with high kinetic inductance are an important resource to generate nonlinearity in quantum circuits and create high-impedance environments. In…

Fabrication and characterization of low-loss Al/Si/Al parallel plate capacitors for superconducting quantum information applications
Anthony McFadden, Aranya Goswami, Tongyu Zhao +7
Increasing the density of superconducting circuits requires compact components, however, superconductor-based capacitors typically perform worse as dimensions are reduced due to lo…
