Tunable qubits are useful in superconducting quantum processors because they enable high-performance quantum gates. Although transmon-based multiqubit systems are widely used in recent architectures, the quarton flux qubit [1] emerges as a promising alternative, offering a positive anharmonicity that is three to five times larger than in typical transmons. In this work, we present an experimental investigation of quarton flux qubits in a capacitively coupled multiqubit architecture. The qubit inductances are realized using a novel stacked-junction fabrication technology [2]. We performed microwave spectroscopy and time-domain measurements on coupled qubits, demonstrating tunable capacitive coupling between the qubits. We benchmarked the measured coupling strengths against analytical models and RF simulations and found good agreement.
