Quantifying surface losses in superconducting aluminum microwave resonators

Elizabeth Hedrick, Faranak Bahrami, Alexander C. Pakpour-Tabrizi +11

The recent realization of millisecond-scale coherence with tantalum-on-silicon transmon qubits showed that depositing the Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junction in a high purity, ultrahigh…

Eliminating Surface Oxides of Superconducting Circuits with Noble Metal Encapsulation

Ray D. Chang, Nana Shumiya, Russell A. McLellan +15

The lifetime of superconducting qubits is limited by dielectric loss, and a major source of dielectric loss is the native oxide present at the surface of the superconducting metal.…

The Er doping of ZnCr2O4

Chen Yang, Danrui Ni, Nan Yao +1

Magnetic Er3+ is doped into the well-studied frustrated normal spinel ZnCr2O4. Various spectroscopies are employed to prove that Er3+ successfully enters the spinel to form ZnCr2-x…
