Characterization and reduction of microfabrication-induced decoherence in superconducting quantum circuits
C. M. Quintana, A. Megrant, Z. Chen +18
Many superconducting qubits are highly sensitive to dielectric loss, making the fabrication of coherent quantum circuits challenging. To elucidate this issue, we characterize the i…
Fabrication and Characterization of Aluminum Airbridges for Superconducting Microwave Circuits
Zijun Chen, Anthony Megrant, Julian Kelly +16
Superconducting microwave circuits based on coplanar waveguides (CPW) are susceptible to parasitic slotline modes which can lead to loss and decoherence. We motivate the use of sup…
Fluctuations From Edge Defects in Superconducting Resonators
C. Neill, A. Megrant, R. Barends +11
Superconducting resonators, used in astronomy and quantum computation, couple strongly to microscopic two-level defects. We monitor the microwave response of superconducting resona…
Planar Superconducting Resonators with Internal Quality Factors above One Million
A. Megrant, C. Neill, R. Barends +16
We describe the fabrication and measurement of microwave coplanar waveguide resonators with internal quality factors above 10 million at high microwave powers and over 1 million at…
Surface spin fluctuations probed with flux noise and coherence in Josephson phase qubits
Daniel Sank, R. Barends, Radoslaw C. Bialczak +15
We measure the dependence of qubit phase coherence and surface spin induced flux noise on inductor loop geometry. While wider inductor traces change neither the flux noise power sp…
Implementing the Quantum von Neumann Architecture with Superconducting Circuits
Matteo Mariantoni, H. Wang, T. Yamamoto +14
The von Neumann architecture for a classical computer comprises a central processing unit and a memory holding instructions and data. We demonstrate a quantum central processing un…
