Quantifying surface losses in superconducting aluminum microwave resonators
Elizabeth Hedrick, Faranak Bahrami, Alexander C. Pakpour-Tabrizi +11
The recent realization of millisecond-scale coherence with tantalum-on-silicon transmon qubits showed that depositing the Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junction in a high purity, ultrahigh…

Beta Tantalum Transmon Qubits with Quality Factors Approaching 10 Million
Atharv Joshi, Apoorv Jindal, Paal H. Prestegaard +9
Tantalum-based transmon qubits are a promising platform for building large-scale quantum processors. So far, these qubits have been made from tantalum films grown exclusively in th…

2D transmons with lifetimes and coherence times exceeding 1 millisecond
Matthew P. Bland, Faranak Bahrami, Jeronimo G. C. Martinez +14
Materials improvements are a powerful approach to reducing loss and decoherence in superconducting qubits because such improvements can be readily translated to large scale process…
