Patent attributes
The present invention generally involves an extra-substrate control system comprising a first substrate, attached to which is at least one superconducting structure, and a second substrate, connected to which is at least one element of circuitry, wherein the superconducting structure and the circuitry interact, so that a change in a state of the superconducting structure can be detected by the circuitry. The present invention also provides a quantum computing apparatus comprising a first substrate, attached to which is one or more layers of material, at least one of which is a superconducting material, a second substrate, deposited on which is a flux shield and on the flux shield is at least one element of circuitry, wherein the superconducting material and the second substrate are separated by a mean distance that is small enough to permit coupling between the element of circuitry and the superconducting material.
