Quasiparticle tunneling as a probe of Josephson junction barrier and capacitor material in superconducting qubits

چکیده
Abstract Non-equilibrium quasiparticles are possible sources for decoherence in superconducting qubits because they can lead to energy decay or dephasing upon tunneling across Josephson junctions (JJs). Here, we investigate the impact of intrinsic properties two-dimensional transmon on quasiparticle (QPT) and discuss how use dynamics gain critical information about quality JJ barrier. We find rate non-equilibrium be sensitive choice shunting capacitor material their geometry qubits. In some devices, observe an anomalous temperature dependence QPT below 100 mK that deviates from a constant background associated with quasiparticles. speculate this behavior is caused by high transmission sites/defects within oxide barriers JJs, leading spatially localized subgap states. model assuming such defects generate regions smaller effective gap. Our results present unique situ characterization tool assess uniformity tunnel qubit shed light interact various elements circuit.

Energy decay in superconducting Josephson-junction qubits from nonequilibrium quasiparticle excitations.
We calculate the energy decay rate of Josephson qubits and superconducting resonators from nonequilibrium quasiparticles. The decay rates from experiments are shown to be consistent with predictions based on a prior measurement of the quasiparticle density n(qp) = 10/microm(3), which suggests that nonequilibrium quasiparticles are an important decoherence source for Josephson qubits. Calculatio...

The spectrum of a segment of InAs nanowire, confined between two superconducting leads, was measured as function of gate voltage and superconducting phase difference using a third normal-metal tunnel probe. Subgap resonances for odd electron occupancy-interpreted as bound states involving a confined electron and a quasiparticle from the superconducting leads, reminiscent of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov sta...

متن کاملVibrating superconducting island in a Josephson junction.
We consider a combined nanomechanical-supercondcuting device that allows the Cooper pair tunneling to interfere with the mechanical motion of the middle superconducting island. Coupling of mechanical oscillations of a superconducting island between two superconducting leads to the electronic tunneling generates a supercurrent that is modulated by the oscillatory motion of the island. This coupl...
