Investigating decoherence in the transmon qubit using a 3D resonator

ORAL

Abstract

We studied the coherence times of transmon qubits using three-dimensional resonators. The three-dimensional (3D) superconducting resonant cavity is machined with aluminum alloy, whose quality factor is higher than 5 million at 10 mK inside a magnetic shield. The transmons are fabricated on sapphire substrates whose internal Q was not lower than 2 million when evaluated in the 3D resonator. We measured the relaxation and dephasing times of the qubits and were able to draw a lower bound on these numbers.
