Abstract

Devices and/or computer-implemented methods facilitating static ZZ suppression and Purcell loss reduction using mode-selective coupling in two-junction superconducting qubits are provided. In an embodiment, a device can comprise a superconducting bus resonator. The device can further comprise a first superconducting qubit. The device can further comprise a second superconducting qubit, the first superconducting qubit and the second superconducting qubit respectively comprising: a first superconducting pad; a second superconducting pad; a third superconducting pad; a first Josephson Junction coupled to the first superconducting pad and the second superconducting pad; and a second Josephson Junction coupled to the second superconducting pad and the third superconducting pad. The first superconducting pad and the second superconducting pad of the first superconducting qubit and the second superconducting qubit are coupled to the superconducting bus resonator. The superconducting bus resonator entangles the first superconducting qubit and the second superconducting qubit based on receiving a control signal.
