    Abstract: A gated Josephson junction includes a substrate and a vertical Josephson junction formed on the substrate and extending substantially normal the substrate. The vertical Josephson junction includes a first superconducting layer, a semiconducting layer, and a second superconducting layer. The first superconducting layer, the semiconducting layer, and the second superconducting layer form a stack that is substantially perpendicular to the substrate. The gated Josephson junction includes a gate dielectric layer in contact with the first superconducting layer, the semiconducting layer, and the second superconducting layer at opposing side surfaces of the vertical Josephson junction, and a gate electrically conducting layer in contact with the gate dielectric layer. The gate electrically conducting layer is separated from the vertical Josephson junction by the gate dielectric layer. In operation, a voltage applied to the gate electrically conducting layer modulates a current through the semiconducting layer of the vertical Josephson junction.

    Abstract: A quantum computing device is fabricated by forming, on a superconductor layer, a first resist pattern defining a device region and a sensing region within the device region. The superconductor layer within the sensing region is removed, exposing a region of a first surface of an underlying semiconductor layer outside the device region. The exposed region of the semiconductor layer is implanted, forming an isolation region surrounding the device region. The sensing region and a portion of the device region of the superconductor layer are exposed. A sensing region contact is formed by coupling the first surface of the semiconductor layer with a first metal layer. A nanorod contact using the first metal within the portion of the device region outside the sensing region is formed. By depositing a second metal layer on a second surface of the semiconductor layer within the sensing region, a tunnel junction gate is formed.
