Publication number: 20210234087Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and techniques facilitating antenna-based thermal annealing of qubits are provided. In one example, a first antenna can be positioned above a superconducting qubit chip having a first Josephson junction and a second Josephson junction. The first antenna can direct a first electromagnetic wave toward the first Josephson junction. A first length of a first defined vertical gap, between the first antenna and the superconducting qubit chip, can be sized to cause the first electromagnetic wave to circumscribe a first set of one or more capacitor pads of the first Josephson junction, thereby annealing the first Josephson junction, without annealing the second Josephson junction. In another example, the first length of the first defined vertical gap can be a function of a model of the first electromagnetic wave as a cone, wherein the cone originates from the first antenna and extends toward the superconducting qubit chip.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Rasit Onur Topaloglu, Sami Rosenblatt

Patent number: 10976671Abstract: A technique relates to correcting an area of overlap between two films created by sequential shadow mask evaporations. At least one process is performed of: correcting design features in an original layout to generate a corrected layout using a software tool, such that the corrected layout modifies shapes of the design features and correcting the design features in the original layout to generate the corrected layout using a lithographic tool, such that the corrected layout modifies the shapes of the design features. The modified shapes of the design features are patterned at locations on a wafer according to the corrected layout using the lithographic tool. A first film is deposited by an initial shadow mask evaporation and a second film by a subsequent shadow mask evaporation to produce corrected junctions at the locations on the wafer, such that the first film and the second film have an overlap.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Markus Brink, Sami Rosenblatt, Bryan D.

Publication number: 20210083168Abstract: Systems and techniques facilitating antenna-based thermal annealing of qubits are provided. In one example, a radio frequency emitter, transmitter, and/or antenna can be positioned above a superconducting qubit chip having a Josephson junction coupled to a set of one or more capacitor pads. The radio frequency emitter, transmitter, and/or antenna can emit an electromagnetic signal onto the set of one or more capacitor pads. The capacitor pads can function as receiving antennas and therefore receive the electromagnetic signal. Upon receipt of the electromagnetic signal, an alternating current and/or voltage can be induced in the capacitor pads, which current and/or voltage thereby heat the pads and the Josephson junction. The heating of the Josephson junction can change its physical properties, thereby annealing the Josephson junction. In another example, the emitter can direct the electromagnetic signal to avoid unwanted annealing of neighboring qubits on the superconducting qubit chip.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventors: Sami Rosenblatt, Rasit Onur Topaloglu
