Microstructural Topology as a Prescriptor for Quantum Coherence: Towards A Unified Framework for Decoherence in Superconducting Qubits
Vinayak P. Dravid, Akshay A. Murthy, Peter Lim +5
In superconducting quantum circuits, decoherence improvements are frequently obtained through process interventions that simultaneously modify surface chemistry, microstructural to…
Discovery of Niobium Hydride Precipitates in Superconducting Qubits
Zuhawn Sung, Daniel Bafia, Arely Cano +6
We report the evidence of the formation of niobium hydride phase within niobium films on silicon substrates in superconducting qubits fabricated at Rigetti Computing. For this stud…
Enhanced Superconducting Qubit Performance Through Ammonium Fluoride Etch
Cameron J. Kopas, Dominic P. Goronzy, Thang Pham +19
The performance of superconducting qubits is often limited by dissipation and two-level systems (TLS) losses. The dominant sources of these losses are believed to originate from am…
First Direct Observation of Nanometer size Hydride Precipitations on Superconducting Niobium
Zu Hawn Sung, Arely Cano, Akshay Murthy +5
Superconducting niobium serves as a key enabling material for superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technology as well as quantum computing devices. At room temperature, hydrogen c…
Systematic Improvements in Transmon Qubit Coherence Enabled by Niobium Surface Encapsulation
Mustafa Bal, Akshay A. Murthy, Shaojiang Zhu +37
We present a novel transmon qubit fabrication technique that yields systematic improvements in T relaxation times. We fabricate devices using an encapsulation strategy that inv…
High quality superconducting Nb co-planar resonators on sapphire substrate
S. Zhu, F. Crisa, M. Bal +10
We present measurements and simulations of superconducting Nb co-planar waveguide resonators on sapphire substrate down to millikelvin temperature range with different readout powe…
