Abstract

Devices, systems, methods, computer-implemented methods, apparatus, and/or computer program products that can facilitate an epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device are provided. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise a substrate. The device can further comprise an epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device coupled to the substrate. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise an epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device coupled to a substrate. The device can further comprise a tuning gate coupled to the substrate and formed across the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise a first superconducting region and a second superconducting region formed on a substrate. The device can further comprise an epitaxial Josephson junction tunneling channel coupled to the first superconducting region and the second superconducting region.

Claims (22)

1. A device, comprising:

a substrate; and

an epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device coupled to the substrate, wherein the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device comprises an epitaxial quantum well layer coupled between superconducting regions.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the superconducting regions are formed in channels defined by removed portions of removable epitaxial layers coupled to the epitaxial quantum well layer.

3. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

removable epitaxial layers coupled to the epitaxial quantum well layer of the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device.

4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first removable epitaxial layer and a second removable epitaxial layer coupled to an epitaxial quantum well layer of the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device, wherein the first removable epitaxial layer comprises a first defined composition of silicon germanium, and wherein the second removable epitaxial layer comprises a second defined composition of silicon germanium.

5. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one of one or more capacitors or one or more resonators coupled to the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device.

6. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cap layer coupled to the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device.

7. A device, comprising:

an epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device coupled to a substrate; and

a tuning gate connected to the substrate and formed across the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the tuning gate and the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device are separated by a gap to prevent direct contact of the tuning gate with the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device, thereby facilitating at least one of improved coherence time, improved performance, or improved lifespan of the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device comprises an epitaxial quantum well layer coupled between superconducting regions.

10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device comprises an epitaxial quantum well layer coupled to superconducting regions formed in channels defined by removed portions of removable epitaxial layers coupled to the epitaxial quantum well layer.

11. The device of claim 7 , further comprising:

removable epitaxial layers coupled to an epitaxial quantum well layer of the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device.

12. The device of claim 7 , further comprising:

at least one of one or more capacitors or one or more resonators coupled to the epitaxial Josephson junction transmon device.
