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…
Glued tree lattices with only compact localized states
Andrew Osborne, Ciro Salcedo, Andrew A. Houck
Flat band physics is a central theme in modern condensed matter physics. By constructing a tight--binding single particle system that has vanishing momentum dispersion in one or mo…
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…
Sub-resonant wideband superconducting Purcell filters
Basil M. Smitham, Jeronimo G. C. Martinez, Christie S. Chiu +1
In superconducting quantum devices, Purcell filters protect qubit information from decaying into external lines by reducing external coupling at qubit frequencies while maintaining…
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…
Reciprocal lumped-element superconducting circuits: quantization, decomposition, and model extraction
Basil M. Smitham, Andrew A. Houck
In this work, we introduce new methods for the quantization, decomposition, and extraction (from electromagnetic simulations) of lumped-element circuit models for superconducting q…
