Abstract: A technique relates a superconducting microwave cavity. An array of posts has different heights in the cavity, and the array supports a localized microwave mode. The array of posts includes lower resonant frequency posts and higher resonant frequency posts. The higher resonant frequency posts are arranged around the lower resonant frequency posts. A first plate is opposite a second plate in the cavity. One end of the lower resonant frequency posts is positioned on the second plate so as to be electrically connected to the second plate. Another end of the lower resonant frequency posts in the array is open so as not to form an electrical connection to the first plate. Qubits are connected to the lower resonant frequency posts in the array of posts, such that each of the qubits is physically connected to one or two of the lower resonant frequency posts in the array of posts.

Abstract: A mechanism relates a superconductor circuit. A ? circuit includes a first node connecting a Purcell capacitor to a qubit coupling capacitor, a second node connecting the Purcell capacitor to a readout coupling capacitor, and a third node connecting the qubit coupling capacitor to the readout coupling capacitor. A qubit is connected to the first node and has a qubit frequency. A readout resonator connects to the third node combining with the Purcell capacitor to form a filter. Capacitance of the Purcell capacitor is determined as a factor of the qubit frequency of the qubit and blocks emissions of the qubit at the qubit frequency. Capacitance of the Purcell capacitor causes destructive interference, between a first path containing Purcell capacitor and a second path containing both the qubit coupling capacitor and readout coupling capacitor, in order to block emissions of the qubit at the qubit frequency to the external environment.
