Normal-metal quasiparticle traps for superconducting qubits — •Amin Hosseinkhani — Peter Grunberg Institute (PGI-2), Forschungszentrum Julich, D-52425 Julich, Germany — JARA-Institute for Quantum Information, RWTH Aachen University, D-52056 Aachen, Germany

Superconducting qubits are promising candidates to implement quantum computation, and have been a subject of intensive research in the past decade. Excitations of a superconductor, known as quasiparticles, can reduce the qubit performance by causing relaxation; the relaxation rate is proportional to the density of quasiparticles tunneling through Josephson junction. Here, we consider engineering quasiparticle traps by covering parts of a superconducting device with normal-metal islands. We utilize a phenomenological quasiparticle diffusion model to study both the decay rate of excess quasiparticles and the steady-state profile of the quasiparticle density in the device. We apply the model to various realistic configurations to explore the role of geometry and location of the traps.
