The tunneling of quasiparticles (QPs) across Josephson junctions (JJs) detrimentally affects the coherence of superconducting and charge-parity qubits, and is shown to occur more frequently in magnetic fields. Here we demonstrate the parity lifetime to survive in excess of 50$,mathrm{mu}$s in magnetic fields up to 1$,$T, utilising a semiconducting nanowire transmon to detect QP tunneling in real time. We exploit gate-tunable QP filters and find magnetic-field-enhanced parity lifetimes, consistent with increased QP trapping by the ungated nanowire due to orbital effects. Our findings highlight the importance of QP trap engineering for building magnetic-field compatible hybrid superconducting circuits.
We report the realization of quantum microwave circuits using hybrid superconductor-semiconductor Josephson elements comprised of InAs nanowires contacted by NbTiN. Capacitively-shunted single elements behave as transmon qubits with electrically tuna
Majarona fermions (MFs) were predicted more than seven decades ago but are yet to be identified [1]. Recently, much attention has been paid to search for MFs in condensed matter systems [2-10]. One of the seaching schemes is to create MF at the inter
We demonstrate shadow evaporation-based fabrication of high-quality ultrasmall normal metal -- insulator -- superconductor tunnel junctions where the thickness of the superconducting electrode is not limited by the requirement of small junction size.
Electromagnetic signals are always composed of photons, though in the circuit domain those signals are carried as voltages and currents on wires, and the discreteness of the photons energy is usually not evident. However, by coupling a superconductin
We have studied the diffusion of excess quasiparticles in a current-biased superconductor strip in proximity to a metallic trap junction. In particular, we have measured accurately the superconductor temperature at a near-gap injection voltage. By an
