摘要:

超导量子电路对静电环境敏感:Josephson结电极上的不可控电荷会改变量子比特的能量级,干扰其操作并限制设计。这种效应由单一参数——电荷偏移——描述,其缓慢、不可预测的漂移在实践中难以消除。我们报告了一种基于钽的transmon量子比特,其电荷偏移在近三个月的测量中保持为零,包括两个热循环,未观察到对量子比特寿命的可观察影响。这种卓越的稳定性在后续冷却中消失,表明存在脆弱的机制。我们归因于在制造过程中意外形成的薄超导层,与Josephson结并行。X射线表面光谱学表明该层源于在蓝宝石上对钽的不完全湿蚀刻。有意设计此类层为超导电路中消除电荷偏移漂移提供了途径。

英文摘要:

Superconducting quantum circuits are sensitive to their electrostatic environment: uncontrolled charges accumulating on the electrodes of a Josephson junction shift the energy levels of a qubit, perturbing its operation and restricting their design. This effect is captured by a single parameter - the charge offset - whose slow, unpredictable drift has proven difficult to eliminate in practice. Here, we report a tantalum-based transmon qubit in which the charge offset remains pinned at zero over nearly three months of measurements, including two thermal cycles, with no observable compromise to the qubit lifetime. This exceptional stability disappears in later cooldowns, indicating a fragile mechanism at play. We attribute it to the inductance of a thin superconducting layer inadvertently formed in parallel with the Josephson junction during fabrication. X-ray surface spectroscopy suggests this layer arises from an incomplete wet-etch of tantalum on sapphire. Deliberately engineering such a layer offers a route to eliminating charge-offset drift in superconducting circuits more broadly.
