Probing Coordination Environments in Buried Oxides of Aluminum Josephson Junctions by Resonant X-ray Reflectivity
Paul Corbae, Alex Abelson, Shivani Srivastava +16
Decoherence remains a critical obstacle to achieving high-fidelity, scalable superconducting qubits, with the tunnel barrier of Josephson junctions a key source of loss. Here we ap…

A scanning probe microscopy approach for identifying defects in aluminum oxide
Leah Tom, Zachary J. Krebs, Joel B. Varley +8
The coherence of quantum dot qubits fabricated in semiconductors is often limited by charge noise from defects in gate dielectrics, which are material- and process-dependent. Chara…

Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Two-level Systems directly after Cryogenic Alternating Bias
V. Iaia, E. S. Joseph, S. Im +10
Two-level systems (TLSs) are tunneling states commonly found in amorphous materials that electrically couple to qubits, resonators, and vibrational modes in materials, leading to e…
