High-kinetic inductance NbN films for high-quality compact superconducting resonators (2302.13930v1)

Published 27 Feb 2023 in quant-ph, cond-mat.mes-hall, and physics.app-ph

Abstract: Niobium nitride (NbN) is a particularly promising material for quantum technology applications, as entails the degree of reproducibility necessary for large-scale of superconducting circuits. We demonstrate that resonators based on NbN thin films present a one-photon internal quality factor above 10$5$ maintaining a high impedance (larger than 2k$\Omega$), with a footprint of approximately 50x100 $\mu$m$2$ and a self-Kerr nonlinearity of few tenths of Hz. These quality factors, mostly limited by losses induced by the coupling to two-level systems, have been maintained for kinetic inductances ranging from tenths to hundreds of pH/square. We also demonstrate minimal variations in the performance of the resonators during multiple cooldowns over more than nine months. Our work proves the versatility of niobium nitride high-kinetic inductance resonators, opening perspectives towards the fabrication of compact, high-impedance and high-quality multimode circuits, with sizable interactions.
