Xmons: Transmon qubits for a scalable architecture

ORAL

Abstract

We have developed a new type of transmon qubit, the Xmon, which shows long coherence, allows for straightforward coupling to multiple elements, and has a low parasitic coupling. The Xmon is UCSB's building block for a superconducting multiqubit processor. The Xmon easily couples to four elements and is dispersively read out, making it compatible for use in a surface code quantum processor. At present, we are experimentally testing multiqubit chips for demonstrating single and two qubit state preparation and gates with high fidelity.
