摘要: An electronic device includes a substrate and a layer of superconducting material disposed over the substrate. The layer of superconducting material includes a first wire and a loop that is (1) distinct and separate from the first wire and (ii) capacitively coupled to the first wire while the loop and the first wire are in a superconducting state.

摘要: A structure has a substrate, and a spring structure disposed on the substrate, the spring structure having an anchor portion disposed on the substrate, an elastic material having an intrinsic stress profile that biases a region of the elastic material to curl away from the substrate, and a superconductor film in electrical contact with a portion of the elastic material. A method of manufacturing superconductor structures includes depositing a release film on a substrate, forming a stack of films comprising an elastic material and a superconductor film, releasing a portion of the elastic material by selective removal of the release film so that portion lifts out of the substrate plane to form elastic springs. A method of manufacturing superconductor structures includes depositing a release film on a substrate, forming a stack of films comprising at least an elastic material, releasing a portion of the elastic material so that portion lifts out of a plane of the substrate to form elastic springs, and coating the elastic springs with a superconductor film.

摘要: Under certain conditions, a fermion in a superconductor can separate in space into two parts known as Majorana zero modes, which are immune to decoherence from local noise sources and are attractive building blocks for quantum computers. Here we disclose a metal-based heterostructure platform to produce these Majorana zero modes which utilizes the surface states of certain metals in combination with a ferromagnetic insulator and a superconductor. This platform has the advantage of having a robust energy scale and the possibility of realizing complex circuit designs using lithographic methods. The Majorana zero modes are interrogated using planar tunnel junctions and electrostatic gates to selectively tunnel into designated pairs of Majorana zero modes. We give example of qubit designs and circuits that are particularly suitable for the metal-based heterostructures.

摘要: An electronic device (e.g., a diode) is provided that includes a substrate and a patterned layer of superconducting material disposed over the substrate. The patterned layer forms a first electrode, a second electrode, and a loop coupling the first electrode with the second electrode by a first channel and a second channel. The first channel and the second channel have different minimum widths. For a range of current magnitudes, when a magnetic field is applied to the patterned layer of superconducting material, the conductance from the first electrode to the second electrode is greater than the conductance from the second electrode to the first electrode.

摘要: Superconducting integrated circuit layouts are proofed against the detrimental effects of stray flux by designing and fabricating them to have one or more ground planes patterned in the x-y plane with a regular grid of low-aspect-ratio flux-trapping voids. The ground plane(s) can be globally patterned with such voids and thousands or more superconducting circuit devices and wires can thereafter be laid out so as not to intersect or come so close to the voids that the trapped flux would induce supercurrents in them, thus preventing undesirable coupling of flux into circuit elements. Sandwiching a wire layer between patterned ground planes permits wires to be laid out even closer to the voids. Voids of successively smaller maximum dimension can be concentrically stacked in pyramidal fashion in multiple ground plane layers having different superconductor transition temperatures, increasing the x-y area available for device placement and wire-up.

摘要: A tunable qubit device includes a tunable qubit, the tunable qubit including a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) loop. The tunable qubit device further includes a superconducting loop inductively coupled to the SQUID loop, and a flux bias line inductively coupled to the superconducting loop. The superconducting loop includes a superconducting material having a critical temperature that is a lower temperature than a critical temperature of any superconducting material of the tunable qubit. In operation, the superconducting loop provides a persistent bias to the tunable qubit.
