Synthesis and Characterization of Atomically-Sharp Superconductor-Dielectric Interface
Nathan Sitaraman, Zhaslan Baraissov, Alexis Grassl +4
Modification of superconductor-dielectric interfaces is known to strongly impact coherence times of superconducting quantum devices. This relationship is thought to arise from diff…
Active-Learning Inspired Theory-Experiment Loop Approach for Management of Material Defects: Application to Superconducting Qubits
Sarvesh Chaudhari, Cristóbal Méndez, Rushil Choudhary +11
Surface oxides are associated with two-level systems (TLSs) that degrade the performance of niobium-based superconducting quantum computing devices. To address this, we introduce a…
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…
Low barrier ZrO-based Josephson junctions
Jaehong Choi, Maciej Olszewski, Luojia Zhang +8
The Josephson junction is a crucial element in superconducting devices, and niobium is a promising candidate for the superconducting material due to its large energy gap relative t…
