    Abstract: A thermalization structure is formed using a foil and a low temperature device (LTD). The foil includes a first layer of a first material. The LTD includes a surface from which heat is transferred away from the LTD. A coupling is formed between the foil and the surface of the LTD, where the coupling includes a bond formed between the foil and the surface such that forming the bond forms a set of ridges in the foil, a ridge in the set of ridges operating to dissipate the heat.

    Abstract: A qubit includes a substrate, and a first capacitor structure having a lower portion formed on a surface of the substrate and at least one first raised portion extending above the surface of the substrate. The qubit further includes a second capacitor structure having a lower portion formed on the surface of the substrate and at least one second raised portion extending above the surface of the substrate. The first capacitor structure and the second capacitor structure are formed of a superconducting material. The qubit further includes a junction between the first capacitor structure and the second capacitor structure. The junction is disposed at a predetermined distance from the surface of the substrate and has a first end in contact with the first raised portion and a second end in contact with the second raised portion.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung offenbaren ein Computersystem mit einer Mehrzahl in einer ebenenähnlichen zweidimensionalen Struktur angeordneter Quantenschaltkreise, wobei die Quantenschaltkreise Qubits und Busse (d.h. Qubit-Qubit-Verbindungen) aufweisen, und ein Verfahren zu dessen Bildung. Ein Quantencomputer-System weist eine Mehrzahl in einem zweidimensionalen Muster angeordneter Quantenschaltkreise auf. Mindestens ein innerer Quantenschaltkreis, der nicht entlang des Umfanges der zweidimensionalen Ebene der Mehrzahl Quantenschaltkreise angeordnet ist, enthält einen unteren Chip, eine Einheitenschicht, einen oberen Chip und eine Weiterleitungsschicht. Eine Signalleitung verbindet die Einheitenschicht mit der Weiterleitungsschicht, wobei die Signalleitung die zweidimensionale Ebene verlässt, zum Beispiel erstreckt sich die Signalleitung in eine andere Ebene.

    Abstract: A method of making a Josephson junction for a superconducting qubit includes providing a substructure (500) having a surface with first and second trenches (306 and 308) perpendicular to each other defined therein. The method further includes evaporating a first superconducting material (700) to deposit the first superconducting material and evaporating a second superconducting material (701) to deposit the second superconducting material in the first trench to provide a first lead (710), and forming an oxidized layer (800) on the first and second superconducting materials. The method includes evaporating a third superconducting material (900) at an angle substantially perpendicular to the surface (502) of the substructure to deposit the third superconducting material in the second trench without rotating the substructure to form a second lead (910). A vertical Josephson junction is formed at the intersection of the first and second trenches electrically connected through the first lead and through the second lead.

    Abstract: A fluxonium qubit includes a superinductor. The superinductor includes a substrate, and a first vertical stack extending in a vertical direction from a surface of the substrate. The first vertical stack includes a first Josephson junction and a second Josephson junction connected in series along the vertical direction. The superinductor includes a second vertical stack extending in a vertical direction from a surface of the substrate. The second vertical stack includes a third Josephson junction. The superinductor includes a superconducting connector connecting the first and second vertical stacks in series such that the first, second, and third Josephson junctions are connected in series. The fluxonium qubit further includes a shunted Josephson junction connected to the superinductor with superconducting wires such that the first, second, and third Josephson junctions of the superinductor that are in series are connected in parallel with the shunted Josephson junction.
