This hybrid superconducting qubit design achieves a significant two-order-of-magnitude reduction in odd harmonics by engineering coherent Cooper pair tunneling within a SQUID architecture. By reconstructing the energy-phase relation to favor even harmonics, this approach offers a novel building block for Fourier engineering that fundamentally alters noise suppression strategies in quantum circuits. The advancement represents a critical step toward improving signal fidelity and control in superconducting qubits without relying on conventional sinusoidal Josephson junctions alone.

New Qubit Suppresses Odd Harmonics by Two Orders of Magnitude

Quantum ZeitgeistAugust 1, 20265 min read

Researchers developed a hybrid superconducting qubit with controlled Cooper pair tunneling, achieving a two orders of magnitude reduction in odd harmonics.

Researchers at the Center for Quantum Devices, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark; the Department of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA; and the Department of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA have developed a new superconducting qubit design that suppresses unwanted signal noise, specifically odd harmonics, by up to two orders of magnitude, as described in their results. This design combines aluminum-oxide tunnel junctions with a gate-tunable InAs/Al nanowire junction to demonstrate control over Cooper pair tunneling. The work demonstrates a…
