Investigation of coherence of niobium-based resonators enabled by a fast-sealing microwave cavity
Chi Zhang, Richard Germond, Noah Janzen +3
Resonators and qubits with a niobium (Nb) base metal layer achieve some of the highest coherence times in superconducting quantum devices. The performance of such devices is often…
A Cryogenic Muon Tagging System Based on Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Superconducting Quantum Processors
Ambra Mariani, Laura Cardani, Mustafa Bal +16
Ionizing radiation has emerged as a potential limiting factor for superconducting quantum processors, inducing quasiparticle bursts and correlated errors that challenge fault-toler…
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…
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…
Ultracoherent superconducting cavity-based multiqudit platform with error-resilient control
Taeyoon Kim, Tanay Roy, Xinyuan You +26
Realizing the promise of quantum computing requires simultaneously increasing Hilbert-space size and coherence times. While qubit-based architectures have long been the dominant pa…
Analysis of RF Surface Loss in a Planar 2D Qubit
Andrei Lunin, Mustafa Bal, Akshay Murthy +3
The Josephson junction and shunt capacitor form a transmon qubit, which is the cornerstone of modern quantum computing platforms. For reliable quantum computing, it is important ho…
