Synthesis of Bulk Superconducting LiNbO Crystals through CaH Reduction
Ryan Paxson, Stephanie J. Hong, Bicky S. Moirangthem +17
We have synthesized layered superconducting LiNbO crystals through a bulk phase transformation from LiNbO single crystals via CaH reduction. As the Nb valence is reduce…
Magnetic flux distribution, quasiparticle spectroscopy, and quality factors in Nb films for superconducting qubits
Amlan Datta, Bicky S. Moirangthem, Kamal R. Joshi +6
Niobium is a practical material platform for superconducting microwave circuits; however, device-level performance can vary significantly depending on film growth and processing co…
Quasiparticle spectroscopy in tantalum films with different Ta/sapphire interfaces
Bicky S. Moirangthem, Kamal R. Joshi, Anthony P. Mcfadden +8
One of the crucial aspects of current research in quantum information science is the identification and control of loss mechanisms in superconducting circuits. Although microwave m…
Magneto-optical study of Nb thin films for superconducting qubits
Amlan Datta, Kamal R. Joshi, Sunil Ghimire +7
Among the recognized sources of decoherence in superconducting qubits, the spatial inhomogeneity of the superconducting state and the possible presence of magnetic-flux vortices re…
Effect of metal encapsulation on bulk superconducting properties of niobium thin films used in qubits
Amlan Datta, Kamal R. Joshi, Sunil Ghimire +18
Niobium metal occupies nearly 100\% of the volume of a typical 2D transmon device. While the aluminum Josephson junction is of utmost importance, maintaining quantum coherence acro…
Identifying Materials-Level Sources of Performance Variation in Superconducting Transmon Qubits
Akshay A. Murthy, Mustafa Bal, Michael J. Bedzyk +46
The Superconducting Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center, a DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Center, has conducted a comprehensive and coordinated study using super…
