TT 1: Focus Session: Disordered and Granular Superconductors: Fundamentals and Applications in Quantum Technology I

Monday, September 27, 2021, 10:00–12:45, H6

Superconducting qubits and quantum circuits are traditionally fabricated from simple superconductors such as aluminum or niobium. Recently, strongly disordered and granular superconductors have become a promising alternative for quantum devices that seek a combination of large impedance and low losses: here, the high kinetic inductance of disordered and granular superconductors is a key asset. While these particular materials are in the focus of fundamental superconductivity materials research already for a long time, their application in quantum technologies now motivates a tight interaction of these two research fields.
