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…
Superconducting Gap Engineering in Tantalum-Alloy-Based Resonators
Chen Yang, Faranak Bahrami, Guangming Cheng +7
Utilizing tantalum (Ta) in superconducting circuits has led to significant improvements, such as high qubit lifetimes and quality factors in both qubits and resonators, underscorin…
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…
Vortex Motion Induced Losses in Tantalum Resonators
Faranak Bahrami, Matthew P. Bland, Nana Shumiya +17
Tantalum (Ta) based superconducting circuits have been demonstrated to enable record qubit coherence times and quality factors, motivating a careful study of the microscopic origin…
