Quasiparticle spectroscopy in tantalum films with different Ta/sapphire interfaces
Bicky S. Moirangthem, Kamal R. Joshi, Anthony P. Mcfadden +8
One of the crucial aspects of current research in quantum information science is the identification and control of loss mechanisms in superconducting circuits. Although microwave m…
Correlating Superconducting Qubit Performance Losses to Sidewall Near-Field Scattering via Terahertz Nanophotonics
Richard H. J. Kim, Samuel J. Haeuser, Joong-Mok Park +16
Elucidating dielectric losses, structural heterogeneity, and interface imperfections is critical for improving coherence in superconducting qubits. However, most diagnostics rely o…
Identifying Materials-Level Sources of Performance Variation in Superconducting Transmon Qubits
Akshay A. Murthy, Mustafa Bal, Michael J. Bedzyk +46
The Superconducting Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center, a DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Center, has conducted a comprehensive and coordinated study using super…
Interface-sensitive microwave loss in superconducting tantalum films sputtered on c-plane sapphire
Anthony P. McFadden, Jinsu Oh, Lin Zhou +5
Quantum coherence in superconducting circuits has increased steadily over the last decades as a result of a growing understanding of the various loss mechanisms. Recently, tantalum…
Enhanced Superconducting Qubit Performance Through Ammonium Fluoride Etch
Cameron J. Kopas, Dominic P. Goronzy, Thang Pham +19
The performance of superconducting qubits is often limited by dissipation and two-level systems (TLS) losses. The dominant sources of these losses are believed to originate from am…
Alternating Bias Assisted Annealing of Amorphous Oxide Tunnel Junctions
David P. Pappas, Mark Field, Cameron Kopas +10
We demonstrate a transformational technique for controllably tuning the electrical properties of fabricated thermally oxidized amorphous aluminum-oxide tunnel junctions. Using conv…
Visualizing heterogeneous dipole fields by terahertz light coupling in individual nano-junctions used in transmon qubits
R. H. J. Kim, J. M. Park, S. Haeuser +12
The fundamental challenge underlying superconducting quantum computing is to characterize heterogeneity and disorder in the underlying quantum circuits. These nonuniform distributi…
