Disordered oxidized (granular) aluminum is a new material for superconducting quantum circuits, featuring not only a very high kinetic inductance but also microwave resonators with high quality factors. Applied to wires of nanometer scale it allows for a pronounced nonlinear microwave response.
We investigate the circuit quantum electrodynamics of superconducting nanowire oscillators. The sample circuit consists of a capacitively shunted nanowire with a width of about 20 nm and a varying length up to 350 nm, capacitively coupled to an on-chip resonator. By applying microwave pulses we observe Rabi oscillations, measure coherence times and the anharmonicity of the circuit. Despite the very compact design, simple top-down fabrication and high degree of disorder in the granular aluminum material, we observe lifetimes in the microsecond range.
