Oxygen distribution and segregation at grain boundaries in Nb and Ta-encapsulated Nb thin films for superconducting qubits
Jaeyel Lee, Dieter Isheim, Zuhawn Sung +14
We report on atomic-scale analyses of oxygen distribution and segregation at grain boundaries (GBs) of Nb and Ta-encapsulated Nb (Ta/Nb) thin films for superconducting qubits using…
Analysis of RF Surface Loss in a Planar 2D Qubit
Andrei Lunin, Mustafa Bal, Akshay Murthy +3
The Josephson junction and shunt capacitor form a transmon qubit, which is the cornerstone of modern quantum computing platforms. For reliable quantum computing, it is important ho…
Demonstrating magnetic field robustness and reducing temporal T1 noise in transmon qubits through magnetic field engineering
Bektur Abdisatarov, Tanay Roy, Daniel Bafia +10
The coherence of superconducting transmon qubits is often disrupted by fluctuations in the energy relaxation time (T1), limiting their performance for quantum computing. While back…
Fast Sideband Control of a Weakly Coupled Multimode Bosonic Memory
Jordan Huang, Thomas J. DiNapoli, Gavin Rockwood +9
Circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) with superconducting cavities coupled to nonlinear circuits like transmons offers a promising platform for hardware-efficient quantum informa…
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…
