Operating in a deep underground facility improves the locking of gradiometric fluxonium qubits at the sweet spots

Daria Gusenkova, Francesco Valenti, Martin Spiecker +14

We demonstrate flux-bias locking and operation of a gradiometric fluxonium artificial atom using two symmetric granular aluminum (grAl) loops to implement the superinductor. The gr…

Subgap kinetic inductance detector sensitive to 85-GHz radiation

F. Levy-Bertrand, A. Benoît, O. Bourrion +8

We have fabricated an array of subgap kinetic inductance detectors (SKIDs) made of granular aluminum (2~K) sensitive in the 80-90 GHz frequency band and operating at 300~m…

Phonon traps reduce the quasiparticle density in superconducting circuits

Fabio Henriques, Francesco Valenti, Thibault Charpentier +14

Out of equilibrium quasiparticles (QPs) are one of the main sources of decoherence in superconducting quantum circuits, and are particularly detrimental in devices with high kineti…

Interplay between kinetic inductance, non-linearity and quasiparticle dynamics in granular aluminum MKIDs

Francesco Valenti, Fábio Henriques, Gianluigi Catelani +13

Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are thin film, cryogenic, superconducting resonators. Incident Cooper pair-breaking radiation increases their kinetic inductance, the…
