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…
