• Abstract: Dielectric losses are one of the key factors limiting the coherence of superconducting qubits. The impact of materials and fabrication steps on dielectric losses can be evaluated using coplanar waveguide (CPW) microwave resonators. Here, we report on superconducting CPW microwave resonators with internal quality factors systematically exceeding 5x106 at high powers and 2x106 (with the best value of 4.4x106) at low power. Such performance is demonstrated for 100-nm-thick aluminum resonators with 7-10.5 um center trace on high-resistivity silicon substrates commonly used in quantum Josephson junction circuits. We investigate internal quality factors of the resonators with both dry and wet aluminum etching, as well as deep and isotropic reactive ion etching of silicon substrate. Josephson junction compatible CPW resonators fabrication process with both airbridges and silicon substrate etching is proposed. Finally, we demonstrate the effect of airbridges positions and extra process steps on the overall dielectric losses. The best quality fa ctors are obtained for the wet etched aluminum resonators and isotropically removed substrate with the proposed ultrasonic metal edge microcutting.

• Hydrogen crystals reduce dissipation in superconducting resonators [0.0]
  Internal quality factors of superconducting resonators made of granular aluminum can be improved by coating them with micrometric films of para-hydrogen molecular crystals. We attribute the average measured dissipation to absorption of stray terahertz radiation at the crystal-resonator interface. The hydrogen crystal does not introduce additional losses, which is promising for embedding impurities to couple to superconducting thin-film devices in hybrid quantum architectures.
