Quantifying surface losses in superconducting aluminum microwave resonators

Elizabeth Hedrick, Faranak Bahrami, Alexander C. Pakpour-Tabrizi +11

The recent realization of millisecond-scale coherence with tantalum-on-silicon transmon qubits showed that depositing the Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junction in a high purity, ultrahigh…

2D transmons with lifetimes and coherence times exceeding 1 millisecond

Matthew P. Bland, Faranak Bahrami, Jeronimo G. C. Martinez +14

Materials improvements are a powerful approach to reducing loss and decoherence in superconducting qubits because such improvements can be readily translated to large scale process…

Eliminating Surface Oxides of Superconducting Circuits with Noble Metal Encapsulation

Ray D. Chang, Nana Shumiya, Russell A. McLellan +15

The lifetime of superconducting qubits is limited by dielectric loss, and a major source of dielectric loss is the native oxide present at the surface of the superconducting metal.…

Disentangling Losses in Tantalum Superconducting Circuits

Kevin D. Crowley, Russell A. McLellan, Aveek Dutta +17

Superconducting qubits are a leading system for realizing large scale quantum processors, but overall gate fidelities suffer from coherence times limited by microwave dielectric lo…
