Evidence for a low-gap component in compressively stressed niobium thin films
J. T. Paustian, Maciej Olszewski, Kiichi Okubo +6
We investigate the microwave response of sputtered Nb films as a function of biaxial film stress. Although transport measurements show nearly identical superconducting transition t…
Fabrication-free assessment of microwave losses in germanium-based dielectrics and superconductors
Haoran Lu, Kushagra Aggarwal, Xiangqin Wang +10
We present a flip-chip-based sensing scheme to measure effective microwave losses associated with target materials for quantum technologies, without requiring any device fabricatio…
High-Q superconducting microwave resonators using MBE titanium nitride
Anand Ithepalli, Haoran Lu, Eegene Clara Chung +9
Using molecular beam epitaxy, we have realized thin films of titanium nitride (TiN) on c-plane sapphire that exhibit the lowest observed full-width at half maximum X-ray rocking cu…
Resist-free shadow deposition using silicon trenches for Josephson junctions in superconducting qubits
Tathagata Banerjee, Stephen Daniel Funni, Saswata Roy +2
Superconducting qubit fabrication innovations continue to be explored to achieve higher performance. Despite improvements to base layer fabrication and processing, resist-based Jos…
Fabrication effects on Niobium oxidation and surface contamination in Niobium-metal bilayers using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Tathagata Banerjee, Maciej W. Olszewski, Valla Fatemi
Superconducting resonators and qubits are limited by dielectric losses from surface oxides. Surface oxides are mitigated through various strategies such as the addition of a metal…
Krypton-sputtered tantalum films for scalable high-performance quantum devices
Maciej W. Olszewski, Lingda Kong, Simon Reinhardt +9
Superconducting qubits based on tantalum (Ta) thin films have demonstrated the highest-performing microwave resonators and qubits. This makes Ta an attractive material for supercon…
