Patent attributes
Techniques for a vertical Josephson junction superconducting device using microstrip waveguides are provided. In one embodiment, a chip surface base device structure is provided that comprises a superconducting material located on a first side of a substrate, and a second superconducting material located on a second side of the substrate and stacked on a second substrate, wherein the first side of the substrate and the second side of the substrate are opposite sides. In one implementation, the substrate or the second substrate, or the substrate and the second substrate are crystalline silicon. In one implementation, the chip surface base device structure also comprises a transmon qubit comprising a capacitor and a Josephson junction formed in a via of the substrate and comprising a tunnel barrier. In one implementation, the chip surface base device structure also comprises a microstrip line electrically coupled to the transmon qubit.
