The high kinetic inductance offered by granular aluminum (grAl) has recently been employed for linear inductors in superconducting high-impedance qubits and kinetic inductance detectors. Due to its large critical current density compared to typical Josephson junctions, its resilience to external magnetic fields, and its low dissipation, grAl may also provide a robust source of non-linearity for strongly driven quantum circuits, topological superconductivity, and hybrid systems. Having said that, can the grAl non-linearity be sufficient to build a qubit? Here we show that a small grAl volume shunted by a thin film aluminum capacitor results in a microwave oscillator with an anharmonicity of 4.48 MHz, two orders of magnitude larger than its spectral linewidth, effectively forming a transmon qubit. Resonance fluorescence measurements of the fundamental transition yield an intrinsic qubit linewidth corresponding to a lifetime of 16 μs. This linewidth remains below 150 kHz for in-plane magnetic fields up to 70 mT.
