Machine-guided Design of Oxidation Resistant Superconductors for Quantum Information Applications

Carson Koppel, Brandon Wilfong, Allana Iwanicki +3

Decoherence in superconducting qubits has long been attributed to two level systems arising from the surfaces and interfaces present in real devices. A recent significant step in r…
