    Abstract: Circuits and methods of operation that can facilitate reducing surface losses for quantum devices are provided. In one example, a quantum device can comprise a dielectric layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The dielectric layer can comprise a recess formed in a surface of the dielectric layer that reduces a thickness of the dielectric layer from a first thickness external to a footprint of the recess to a second thickness within the footprint of the recess. The second thickness can be less than the first thickness. The first electrode can be positioned within the footprint of the recess. The second electrode can be electrically isolated from the first electrode by the dielectric layer. The first and second electrodes can be positioned on opposing surfaces of the dielectric layer.

    Abstract: Solder-pinning metal pads for electronic components and techniques for use thereof to mitigate de-wetting are provided. In one aspect, a structure includes: a substrate; and a solder pad on the substrate, wherein the solder pad has sidewalls extending up from a surface thereof. For instance, the sidewalls can be present at edges of the solder pad, or inset from the edges of the solder pad. The sidewalls can be vertical or extend up from the solder pad at an angle. The sidewalls can be formed from the same material or a different material as the solder pad. A method is also provided that includes forming a solder pad on a substrate, the solder pad comprising sidewalls extending up from a surface thereof.

    Abstract: A technique relates to assembling a multi-chip system. A first chip stack element having two major surfaces and a first solder pad, a first vertical stop, a first lateral stop and a first waveguiding element is provided. A second chip stack element having two major surfaces and including a second solder pad, a flow resistor connected to the second solder pad, a second vertical stop, a second lateral stop, a reservoir pad connected to the flow resistor, and a second waveguiding element is provided. A solder material is plated to form a plated solder pad. A technique includes pre-aligning the first chip stack element and the second chip stack element, raising the temperature to a temperature above the melting temperature of the solder material, and flowing solder through the flow resistor. Aspects include aligning the first and second waveguiding elements and cooling the connected assembly to re-solidify the solder material.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for single edge coupling of chips with integrated waveguides. For example, a package structure includes a first chip with a first critical edge, and a second chip with a second critical edge. The first and second chips include integrated waveguides with end portions that terminate on the first and second critical edges. The second chip includes a signal reflection structure that is configured to reflect an optical signal propagating in one or more of the integrated waveguides of the second chip. The first and second chips are edge-coupled at the first and second critical edges such that the end portions of the integrated waveguides of the first and second chips are aligned to each other, and wherein all signal input/output between the first and second chips occurs at the single edge-coupled interface.
