  • Publication number: 20240086752
    Abstract: A device includes a first set of circuit components implementing a qubit and a second set of circuit components implementing a readout resonator for reading out a state of the qubit. A first footprint of the first set of circuit components overlaps a second footprint of the second set of circuit components. The first footprint is oriented relative to the second footprint based on a first electric dipole of the first set of circuit components and a second electric dipole of the second set of circuit components.

  • Patent number: 11880742
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating a quantum gate between qubits using a tunable coupler are provided. In one example, a quantum coupler device can comprise a Josephson ring modulator (JRM) that is operatively coupled to first and second qubits in a balanced bridge topology via respective first and second capacitive devices. The JRM provides tunable coupling between the first and second qubits.

  • Publication number: 20230153666
    Abstract: A qubit system includes a qubit located on a first substrate. A readout resonator is coupled to the qubit and located on substrate having an attenuation constant the same as the first substrate. A first Purcell filter coupled to the readout resonator and located on a second substrate. The first substrate comprises a material that has an attenuation constant that is lower than that of the second substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220199507
    Abstract: A quantum semiconductor device includes a qubit chip; an interposer chip, with a handler, including a through-silicon-via (TSV) coupled to a first side of the qubit chip. A multi-level wiring (MLW) layer contacts an underside of the interposer chip and coupling to the top side of the handler, the TSV facilitates an electrical signal connection between the MLW layer, a topside of the interposer chip and the qubit chip, wherein structure of the device mitigates signal cross-talk across respective lines of the MLW layer.

  • Patent number: 9490112
    Abstract: A system and method for characterizing incident ions are provided. The method includes positioning a transmission line detector to receive incident ions, the transmission line detector comprising a superconducting meandering wire defining a detection area for incident ions, and applying a bias current to the transmission line detector. The method also includes detecting a first signal produced in the transmission line detector due to an ion impacting the detection area, and detecting a second signal produced in the transmission line detector due to the ion impacting the detection area. The method further includes analyzing the first signal and the second signal to characterize the ion. In some aspects, the method further includes identifying a delay between the first signal and the second signal to determine, using the identified delay, a location of the ion on the detection area.
