US Patent 11552236 Superconducting qubit capacitance and frequency of operation tuning

A method for adjusting a resonance frequency of a qubit in a quantum mechanical device includes providing a substrate having a frontside and a backside, the frontside having at least one qubit formed thereon, the at least one qubit comprising capacitor pads; and removing substrate material from the backside of the substrate at an area opposite the at least one qubit to alter a capacitance around the at least one qubit so as to adjust a resonance frequency of the at least one qubit.
