A Demonstration of Multifloating Superconducting Qubits on a 3-D Flip-Chip Platform With TLS Loss Mitigation via Apertures

Zhen Luo, Thomas Mayer, Daniela Zahn +8 more

Flip-chip platforms are among the most promising approaches for scaling up superconducting qubits in quantum computing. This work presents the design, modeling, and analysis of floating transmon qubits implemented on a 3-D flip-chip platform. A major focus during qubit design is addressing coherence challenges caused by two-level system (TLS) losses, particularly from surface interfaces. TLS losses at the metal-air (MA) interface are mitigated by introducing apertures beneath the qubit pads. The aperture size is optimized to balance two key factors: minimizing total TLS loss and ensuring sufficient coupling strength between the transmon and resonator. Subsequently, a packaged 3-D chip comprising 24 floating transmons is demonstrated. The transmission spectrum is measured, with all readout resonators successfully located at their designated positions on the spectrum. Two-tone spectroscopy is demonstrated, enabling precise measurement of the qubit frequency.

Scalability and modularity for transmon-based quantum processors

Christian Dickel

This thesis mainly summarizes two experiments that relate to building a quantum computer out of superconducting transmon qubits. Transmon qubits have emerged as one of the foremost solid state qubits, realizing processors with more than ten qubits and demonstrating small scale quantum algorithms as well as quantum error correction schemes. Right now, there is a race between different academic and industry research groups to scale up transmon qubit processors. The first experiment was a demonstration of qubit control by selective broadcasting in order to reduce the scaling of expensive electronics with the number of qubits for individual single-qubit control. We demonstrated that we can bring two transmon qubits to the same frequency (combining fabrication accuracy and in-situ fine tuning) and use the same hardware to control both, routing the pulses with a nanosecond-timescale vector switch matrix. Despite the compromises required by this technique, we show a scalable path to single qubit control beyond the threshold required for quantum error correction. In benchmarking, we take into account gate leakage due to the fact that transmons are fundamentally multi-level systems. In the second experiment we establish entanglement between two transmon qubits on different chips. We use an entanglement by measurement scheme and demonstrate that we can overcome minor fabrication imperfections by shaping our measurement pulses. Ultimately, performance is mainly limited by photon loss between the chips and up to the amplification chain. This entanglement mediated by traveling photons could be used to make a distributed transmon processor where computations are spread across several chip modules. This modularity could enable connectivities that cannot be realized on chip and ease fabrication requirements, as modules could be individually fabricated and selected. Thus, both of these experiments fit into the larger effort to converge on the hardware, control equipment and architecture of a future large-scale transmon quantum computer. Other experiments I contributed to are summarized in the conclusion chapter to show the diverse physics that can be studied in cQED experiments.

Analysis of Superconducting Qubit Layouts Using InductEx

Sean Crowe, B. J. Taylor, Nicholas B. Ferrante +2 more

InductEx [1] is a software tool used for the analysis of integrated circuit designs and extraction of design parameters by way of numerical electromagnetic field solving. This tool was originally developed with Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) chips in mind, but it has a broad applicability and can be extended to other processes. In this poster, we report a comprehensive analysis of a superconducting aluminum two qubit chip. This analysis was performed with InductEx. We report the design of a two qubit chip which has the characteristics necessary to execute single and two qubit gates. Ahead of fabrication, several design characteristics have been extracted from this quantum chip design in order to verify that it satisfies basic design principles of transmon qubits. These characteristics are reported in this poster and they include the calculation of chip anharmonicities, qubit frequencies, resonator frequencies as well as g-factors and dispersive shifts. Design constraints which are satisfied by these extracted parameters are discussed. Additionally, qualitative aspects of the chip have been obtained from current density maps and are reported here. Taken as a whole, this analysis demonstrates the broad applicability of Inductex to integrated circuit design and particularly to the problem of quantum circuit layout optimization.
