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…
