Distinguishing types of correlated errors in superconducting qubits
Hannah P. Binney, H. Douglas Pinckney, Kate Azar +15
Errors in superconducting qubits that are correlated in time and space can pose problems for quantum error correction codes. Radiation from cosmic and terrestrial sources can incre…
Characterization and Comparison of Energy Relaxation in Fluxonium Qubits
Kate Azar, Lamia Ateshian, Mallika T. Randeria +19
Fluxonium superconducting qubits have demonstrated long coherence times and high single- and two-qubit gate fidelities, making them a favorable building block for superconducting q…
Characterization of Radiation-Induced Errors in Superconducting Qubits Protected with Various Gap-Engineering Strategies
H. Douglas Pinckney, Thomas McJunkin, Alan W. Hunt +26
Impacts from high-energy particles cause correlated errors in superconducting qubits by increasing the quasiparticle density in the vicinity of the Josephson junctions (JJs). Such…
Improving Transmon Qubit Performance with Fluorine-based Surface Treatments
Michael A. Gingras, Bethany M. Niedzielski, Kevin A. Grossklaus +21
Reducing materials and processing-induced decoherence is critical to the development of utility-scale quantum processors based on superconducting qubits. Here we report on the impa…
