    摘要: According to various implementations of the invention, a vertical Josephson Junction device may be realized using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of YBCO and PBCO epitaxial layers in an a-axis crystal orientation. Various implementations of the invention provide improved vertical JJ devices using SiC or LSGO substrates; GaN, AlN, or MgO buffer layers; YBCO or LSGO template layers; YBCO conductive layers and various combinations of barrier layers that include PBCO, NBCO, and DBCO. Such JJ devices are simple to fabricate with wet and dry etching, and allow for superior current flow across the barrier layers.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for a ZZZ coupler. A first tunable coupler is coupled to the first qubit and tunable via a first control signal. A second tunable coupler is coupled to the first tunable coupler to direct a flux of the first qubit into a tuning loop of the second tunable coupler, such that when a first coupling strength associated with the first tunable coupler is non-zero, a second coupling strength, associated with the second tunable coupler, is a function of a second control signal applied to the second tunable coupler and a state of the first qubit. The second qubit and the third qubit are coupled to one another through the second tunable coupler, such that, when the second coupling strength is non-zero it is energetically favorable for the states of the first and second qubits to assume a specific relationship with respect to the Z-axis.

    摘要: A technique relates to a trilayer Josephson junction structure. A dielectric layer is on a base electrode layer that is on a substrate. A counter electrode layer is on the dielectric layer. First and second counter electrodes are formed from the counter electrode layer. First and second dielectric layers are formed from the dielectric layer. First and second base electrodes are formed from base electrode layer. The first counter electrode, first dielectric layer, and first base electrode form a first stack. The second counter electrode, second dielectric layer, and second base electrode form a second stack. A shunting capacitor is between first and second base electrodes. An ILD layer is deposited on the substrate, the first and second counter electrodes, and the first and second base electrodes. A contact bridge connects the first and second counter electrodes.
