Improving the lifetime of aluminum-based superconducting qubits through atomic layer etching and deposition
Neha Mahuli, Joaquin Minguzzi, Jiansong Gao +9
We present a dry surface treatment combining atomic layer etching and deposition (ALE and ALD) to mitigate dielectric loss in fully fabricated superconducting quantum devices forme…

Preserving phase coherence and linearity in cat qubits with exponential bit-flip suppression
Harald Putterman, Kyungjoo Noh, Rishi N. Patel +17
Cat qubits, a type of bosonic qubit encoded in a harmonic oscillator, can exhibit an exponential noise bias against bit-flip errors with increasing mean photon number. Here, we foc…

Low-Loss Superconducting Resonators Fabricated from Tantalum Films Grown at Room Temperature
Guillaume Marcaud, David Perello, Cliff Chen +16
The use of -tantalum in superconducting circuits has enabled a considerable improvement of the coherence time of transmon qubits. The standard approach to grow -tantalum th…
