Description

The fluxonium qubit, a small Josephson junction shunted by a superinductance, offers large anharmonicity, protection from charge noise, and coherence times beyond the millisecond, making it a compelling alternative to the transmon. I will present our recent progress in developing fluxonium as a scalable platform. First, I will discuss improvements in our junction fabrication process, benchmarked using junction-array resonators that probe array uniformity and internal losses and feed back directly into process development. I will then present results on single-qubit control, including calibration strategies adapted to fluxonium's rich level structure. Finally, I will show early results on multi-qubit devices and discuss the architectural choices that make fluxonium a credible candidate for scaling.
