  • ASYMMETRIC JOSEPHSON JUNCTIONS FOR SUPPRESSION OF CORRELATED ERRORS IN SUPERCONDUCTING QUBITS
    Publication number: 20250386742
    Abstract: A unit of quantum information comprises a first electrode having a first thickness and providing a first superconducting gap energy at a first region of a substrate, a second electrode a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness and providing a second superconducting gap energy at a second region of the substrate that is less than the first superconducting gap energy, a barrier that separates the first region and the second region, and an asymmetric junction at the, the asymmetric junction having a low superconducting energy gap region at the second region; and a low superconducting energy gap region at the first region.
