  • Publication number: 20170256698
    Abstract: A tunable quantum qubit circuit comprising: a plurality of interconnected Josephson tunneling junctions sculpted in-situ on-chip, wherein each Josephson tunneling junction comprises a pair of high temperature superconductors separated by an active region having a controlled charge density; a capacitive-coupled control gate operatively coupled to the Josephson tunneling junctions and configured to simultaneously modulate energy levels of the Josephson tunneling junctions; and independent control gates operatively coupled to the Josephson tunneling junctions, wherein the independent control gates are reconfigurable on-the-fly by an operator.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9455391
    Abstract: A process for constructing a superconducting Josephson-based nonvolatile quantum memory device comprising: sequentially depositing on a silicon substrate a thermal oxide buffer layer, a superconductor bottom-electrode thin film, and an oxide isolation layer; patterning an active window having dimensions smaller that 10 nanometers in the oxide isolation layer; then sequentially depositing a bottom tunnel oxide layer, a charge-trapping layer, a top cap, and a top superconductor electrode layer; defining an active region by dry etching down to the oxide isolation layer while protecting the active region from etch chemistry; depositing a device passivation layer; defining and patterning vias from a top of the device passivation layer to the superconductor bottom-electrode thin film and to the top superconductor electrode of the active region; and depositing metal interconnect into the vias.
