  2. Anatomy of a superconducting qubit Wiring Top electrode Insulator Junction - Tunnel barrier Bottom electrode Insulator (if subs. conductive) Substrate

  3. Materials development – can we reduce decoherence? Al a-SiOx Absorption in dielectric & junction (a-SiO2) & (a-AlO2) AlOx Si • Focus on: • Insulators: along traces & around junction • in substrate • crossovers • Tunnel barrier: Between top and bottom electrode • Electrode surfaces: Flux noise from surface spins

  4. Resonant circuits have low Q at low T, P => With & without SiO2 over the capacitor C/2 C/2 L Dissipation is in SiO2 dielectric of the capacitor! ~Pout

  5. Qubit spectroscopysplittings due to two-level systems in Junction tunnel barrier • Increase the bias voltage (tilt) • Frequency of |0> => |1> transition goes down Increase bias Resonances
