Towards practical quantum computers: transmon qubit with a lifetime approaching 0.5 milliseconds
Abstract Here we report a breakthrough in the fabrication of a long lifetime transmon qubit. We use tantalum films as the base superconductor. By using a dry etching process, we obtained transmon qubits with a best T 1 lifetime of 503 μs. As a comparison, we also fabricated transmon qubits with othe...
