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…
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…
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…
