Superconducting ‘‘metals’’ and ‘‘insulators’’
We propose a characterization of zero-temperature phases in disordered superconductors on the basis of the nature of quasiparticle transport. In three-dimensional systems, there are two distinct phases in close analogy to the distinction between normal metals and insulators: the superconducting ‘‘metal’’ with delocalized quasiparticle excitations and the superconducting ‘‘insulator’’ with local...
متن کاملBanishing Quasiparticles From Josephson-Junction Qubits: Why and How to do it
Current-biased Josephson junctions are prime candidates for the realization of quantum bits; however, a present limitation is their coherence time. In this paper it is shown qualitatively that quasiparticles create decoherence. We can decrease the number of quasiparticles present in the junctions by two methods—reducing the creation rate with current shunts and increasing the depletion rate wit...
متن کاملRelaxation and frequency shifts induced by quasiparticles in superconducting qubits
As low-loss nonlinear elements, Josephson junctions are the building blocks of superconducting qubits. The interaction of the qubit degree of freedom with the quasiparticles tunneling through the junction represents an intrinsic relaxation mechanism. We develop a general theory for the qubit decay rate induced by quasiparticles, and we study its dependence on the magnetic flux used to tune the ...
متن کاملEnergy decay in superconducting Josephson-junction qubits from nonequilibrium quasiparticle excitations.
We calculate the energy decay rate of Josephson qubits and superconducting resonators from nonequilibrium quasiparticles. The decay rates from experiments are shown to be consistent with predictions based on a prior measurement of the quasiparticle density n(qp) = 10/microm(3), which suggests that nonequilibrium quasiparticles are an important decoherence source for Josephson qubits. Calculatio...
متن کاملMeasurement and control of quasiparticle dynamics in a superconducting qubit.
Superconducting circuits have attracted growing interest in recent years as a promising candidate for fault-tolerant quantum information processing. Extensive efforts have always been taken to completely shield these circuits from external magnetic fields to protect the integrity of the superconductivity. Here we show vortices can improve the performance of superconducting qubits by reducing th...
