Improved superconducting qubit coherence using titanium nitride
Improved superconducting qubit coherence using titanium nitride
We demonstrate enhanced relaxation and dephasing times of transmon qubits, up to ∼60 μs, by fabricating the interdigitated shunting capacitors using titanium nitride (TiN). Compared to qubits made with lift-off aluminum deposited simultaneously with the Josephson junction, this represents as much as a six-fold improvement and provides evidence that surface …
