• Authors: Sebasti\'an Dom\'inguez-Calder\'on and Harley D. Scammell
• Abstract summary: Superconducting transmon qubits with strong anharmonicity and insensitivity to offset charge are desirable for low-error implementation. We propose a c-axis junction, comprising triplet superconductors, and set at a relative twist angle. In this architecture, the anomalous flux is determined by the twist angle of the junction, thereby offering a novel zero-field functionality.

• Abstract: Superconducting transmon qubits with strong anharmonicity and insensitivity to offset charge are highly desirable for low-error implementation. In this work we propose a c-axis junction, comprising triplet superconductors, and set at a relative twist angle. Invoking spin-orbit coupling and spin polarization, which are known to occur in the material platform of choice, we examine the resulting transmon Hamiltonian. This junction allows for direct control of the single and double Cooper pair tunneling strength, and most remarkably, an anomalous magnetic flux -- i.e. a phase offset equivalent to magnetic flux, yet in zero magnetic field. Having control over these three parameters -- single and double pair tunneling and anomalous flux -- allows for optimal design of the transmon qubit. Interestingly, in this architecture, the anomalous flux is determined by the twist angle of the junction, thereby offering a novel zero-field functionality. Our key results rely on symmetry arguments, for concreteness we demonstrate the implementation of our concept using a model of moir\'e graphene-based c-axis junctions.

  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.

• Long range magnetic dipole-dipole interaction mediated by a superconductor [0.0]
  Quantum computation and simulation requires strong coherent coupling between qubits, which may be spatially separated. Here we theoretically investigate a method for achieving such coupling, based on superconducting nano-structures designed to channel the magnetic flux created by the qubits. We show that such structures could channel the magnetic flux, enhancing the dipole-dipole interaction between spin qubits and changing its scaling with distance, thus potentially paving the way for controllably engineering an interacting spin system.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
