Materials for Quantum Information Science: Roles in the Quantum Evolution 2.0
Thang Pham, Vsevolod Ivanov, Dominic P. Goronzy +4
Quantum information science is entering a second phase, the Quantum Evolution 2.0, in which the challenge has shifted from demonstrating coherent control of individual quantum stat…
Oxide-Nitride Heteroepitaxy for Low-Loss Dielectrics in Superconducting Quantum Circuits
David A. Garcia-Wetten, Mitchell J. Walker, Peter G. Lim +9
Superconducting qubits show great promise for the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computing, but lossy, amorphous dielectrics limit current technology. Identifying highly cry…
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…
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…
Comparison of Nb and Ta Pentoxide Loss Tangents for Superconducting Quantum Devices
D. P. Goronzy, W. W. Mah, P. G. Lim +14
Superconducting transmon qubits are commonly made with thin-film Nb wiring, but recent studies have shown increased performance with Ta wiring. In this work, we compare the resonat…
Vortex-Controlled Quasiparticle Multiplication and Self-Growth Dynamics in Superconducting Resonators
Joong M. Park, Martin Mootz, Richard H. J. Kim +11
Even in the quantum limit, non-equilibrium quasiparticle (QP) populations induce QP poisoning that irreversibly relaxes the quantum state and significantly degrades the coherence o…
X-ray scattering investigation of hydride surface segregation in epitaxial Nb films
David A. Garcia-Wetten, Philip J. Ryan, Jong Woo Kim +4
Hydride precipitation in niobium-based, superconducting circuits is a damaging side-effect of hydrofluoric acid treatments used to clean and thin the Nb surface oxides and Si oxide…
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…
Loss tangent fluctuations due to two-level systems in superconducting microwave resonators
André Vallières, Megan E. Russell, Xinyuan You +10
Superconducting microwave resonators are critical to quantum computing and sensing technologies. Additionally, they are common proxies for superconducting qubits when determining t…
Enhanced Superconducting Qubit Performance Through Ammonium Fluoride Etch
Cameron J. Kopas, Dominic P. Goronzy, Thang Pham +19
The performance of superconducting qubits is often limited by dissipation and two-level systems (TLS) losses. The dominant sources of these losses are believed to originate from am…
Systematic Improvements in Transmon Qubit Coherence Enabled by Niobium Surface Encapsulation
Mustafa Bal, Akshay A. Murthy, Shaojiang Zhu +37
We present a novel transmon qubit fabrication technique that yields systematic improvements in T relaxation times. We fabricate devices using an encapsulation strategy that inv…
Characterization of Nb films for superconducting qubits using phase boundary measurements
Kevin M. Ryan, Carlos G. Torres-Castanedo, Dominic P. Goronzy +8
Continued advances in superconducting qubit performance require more detailed understandings of the many sources of decoherence. Within these devices, two-level systems arise due t…
