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…
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…
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…
