• Abstract: Van-der-Waals (vdW) assembly enables the fabrication of novel Josephson junctions utilizing an atomically sharp interface between two exfoliated and relatively twisted $\rm{Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x}}$ (Bi2212) flakes. In a range of twist angles around $45^\circ$, the junction provides a regime where the interlayer two-Cooper pair tunneling dominates the current-phase relation. Here we propose to employ this novel junction to realize a capacitively shunted qubit that we call flowermon. The $d$-wave nature of the order parameter endows the flowermon with inherent protection against charge-noise-induced relaxation and quasiparticle-induced dissipation. This inherently protected qubit paves the way to a new class of high-coherence hybrid superconducting quantum devices based on unconventional superconductors.

  Two Josephson junctions are integrated in a SQuID circuit threaded by a magnetic flux. We show that the flowermon qubit regime is maintained up to a finite critical value of the magnetic field. The interplay between the inherent twisted d-wave nature of the order parameter and the external magnetic flux enables the implementation of different artificial atoms.

  A superconducting loop can be coherently coupled by quantum phase slips occurring at a weak link such as a Josephson junction. We analyze this scenario by computing the coupling between fluxons as the level is brought into resonance with the superconducting condensate. These findings can inform experiments on bifluxon qubits as well as the design of novel types of protected qubits.

  Tunable two-qubit couplers offer an avenue to mitigate errors in multiqubit superconducting quantum processors. Most couplers operate in a narrow frequency band and target specific couplings, such as the spurious $ZZ$ interaction. We introduce a superconducting coupler that alleviates these limitations by suppressing all two-qubit interactions with an exponentially large on-off ratio.
