Ultra-high Q > 1010 superconducting 3D cavities for quantum computing and quantum memory

ORAL

Abstract

3D superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities with very high Q factors of 1010-1011 are routinely used in modern particle accelerators. These are cavities made of bulk niobium and prepared with specialized surface processing techniques based on the detailed understanding of various Q-limiting mechanism developed in SRF over the past several decades. We have merged the advantages of high Q SRF with state-of-the-art transmon qubit, and in this contribution we report the first 'quantum' regime (T<20 mK, N<~10 photons) measurements of high Q bare SRF cavities, as well as SRF cavity-transmon qubit system performance (coherence time etc), demonstrating the high potential of this approach for both 3D cQED quantum computation and quantum memory.
