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…
Comparison of Nb and Ta Pentoxide Loss Tangents for Superconducting Quantum Devices
D. P. Goronzy, W. W. Mah, P. G. Lim +14
Superconducting transmon qubits are commonly made with thin-film Nb wiring, but recent studies have shown increased performance with Ta wiring. In this work, we compare the resonat…
Identifying Materials-Level Sources of Performance Variation in Superconducting Transmon Qubits
Akshay A. Murthy, Mustafa Bal, Michael J. Bedzyk +46
The Superconducting Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center, a DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Center, has conducted a comprehensive and coordinated study using super…
