Manipulation and readout of deep-submicron Nb-trilayer-based persistent-current qubits

ORAL

Abstract

Lithographically patterned persistent-current (PC) qubits are promising candidates for realizing a large-scale quantum computer. While challenging to fabricate in a trilayer technology, deep-submicron Josephson junctions (JJs) are required to realize large qubit tunnel-couplings and allow improved immunity to dielectric-induced decoherence. Here, we present recent results on the measurement and characterization of PC qubits designed with deep-submicron JJs and fabricated with Nb-Al/AlOx-Nb trilayers.
