  • Method of manufacturing superconducting low pass filter for quantum computing
    Patent number: 8745850
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing a superconducting low-pass filter for quantum computing devices. The apparatus includes a plurality of containers and input and output ports connected to opposite ends of the apparatus. A plurality of coils of superconducting wire are wound using a mandrel. An adhesive is applied to the coils for maintaining a wound state. Each of the coils are positioned in each of the containers and electrically connected to each other with at least one coil being connected to the input port and at least one coil being connected to the output port. The coils are released or expanded from their wound state using an adhesive solvent. The containers are then filled with a conductive polymer and the containers are closed with one or more covers.
    Type: Grant
