  • Patent number: 10398031
    Abstract: An aspect includes one or more board layers. A first chip cavity is formed within the one or more board layers, wherein a first Josephson amplifier or Josephson mixer is disposed within the first chip cavity. The first Josephson amplifier or Josephson mixer comprises at least one port, each port connected to at least one connector disposed on at least one of the one or more board layers, wherein at least one of the one or more board layers comprises a circuit trace formed on the at least one of the one or more board layers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10355193
    Abstract: A quantum bit (qubit) flip chip assembly may be formed when a qubit it formed on a first chip and an optically transmissive path is formed on a second chip. The two chips may be bonded using solder bumps. The optically transmissive path may provide optical access to the qubit on the first chip.

  • Patent number: 9729152
    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.
