SACRIFICIAL MATERIAL FACILITATING PROTECTION OF A SUBSTRATE IN A QUBIT DEVICE

Abstract:

Devices, systems, methods, and/or computer-implemented methods that can facilitate protection of a substrate in a qubit device using sacrificial material are provided. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise a superconducting lead provided on a pillar of a sacrificial material provided on a substrate. The device can further comprise a collapsed superconducting junction provided on the substrate and coupled to the superconducting lead.
