Microstructural Topology as a Prescriptor for Quantum Coherence: Towards A Unified Framework for Decoherence in Superconducting Qubits
Vinayak P. Dravid, Akshay A. Murthy, Peter Lim +5
In superconducting quantum circuits, decoherence improvements are frequently obtained through process interventions that simultaneously modify surface chemistry, microstructural to…
Oxide-nitride heteroepitaxy for low-loss dielectrics in superconducting quantum circuits
David A. Garcia-Wetten, Mitchell J. Walker, Peter G. Lim +9
Superconducting qubits show great promise for the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computing, but lossy, amorphous dielectrics limit current technology. Identifying highly cry…
Residual Control for Fast Recovery from Dynamics Shifts
Nethmi Jayasinghe, Diana Gontero, Francesco Migliarba +4
Robotic systems operating in real-world environments inevitably encounter unobserved dynamics shifts during continuous execution, including changes in actuation, mass distribution,…
Effect of metal encapsulation on bulk superconducting properties of niobium thin films used in qubits
Amlan Datta, Kamal R. Joshi, Sunil Ghimire +18
Niobium metal occupies nearly 100\% of the volume of a typical 2D transmon device. While the aluminum Josephson junction is of utmost importance, maintaining quantum coherence acro…
Cerebellar-Inspired Residual Control for Fault Recovery: From Inference-Time Adaptation to Structural Consolidation
Nethmi Jayasinghe, Diana Gontero, Spencer T. Brown +3
Robotic policies deployed in real-world environments often encounter post-training faults, where retraining, exploration, or system identification are impractical. We introduce an…
Oxygen distribution and segregation at grain boundaries in Nb and Ta-encapsulated Nb thin films for superconducting qubits
Jaeyel Lee, Dieter Isheim, Zuhawn Sung +14
We report on atomic-scale analyses of oxygen distribution and segregation at grain boundaries (GBs) of Nb and Ta-encapsulated Nb (Ta/Nb) thin films for superconducting qubits using…
