Abstract

A technique relates to a structure. A first surface includes an inductive element of a resonator. A second surface includes a first portion of a capacitive element of the resonator and at least one qubit. A second portion of the capacitive element of the resonator is on the first surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A structure comprising:
a first surface comprising an inductive element of a resonator; and
a second surface comprising a first portion of a capacitive element of the resonator and at least one qubit, wherein a second portion of the capacitive element of the resonator is on the first surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface comprise circuit planes, the circuit planes being on opposite sides of a substrate.

2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the capacitive element comprises an interconnect structure.

3. The structure of claim 2 , wherein the interconnect structure comprises a through-silicon via.

4. The structure of claim 1 , wherein an interconnect structure connecting the first and second portions forms an equipotential between the interconnect structure, the first portion, and the second portion.

5. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the at least one qubit comprises a capacitive-type quantum bit.

6. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the at least one qubit comprises an inductive-type quantum bit.

7. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the resonator is a readout resonator.

8. The structure of claim 7 , wherein the readout resonator is configured to read out a state of the at least one qubit.

9. A structure comprising:
a first surface comprising an inductive element of a resonator; and
a second surface comprising a first portion of a capacitive element of the resonator and at least one qubit, wherein a second portion of the capacitive element of the resonator is on the first surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface comprise circuit planes, the circuit planes being on different substrates.

10. The structure of claim 9 , wherein the capacitive element comprises an interconnect structure.

11. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the interconnect structure comprises a solder bump.

12. The structure of claim 9 , wherein an interconnect structure connecting the first and second portions forms an equipotential between the interconnect structure, the first portion, and the second portion.

13. The structure of claim 9 , wherein the at least one qubit comprises a capacitive-type quantum bit.

14. The structure of claim 9 , wherein the at least one qubit comprises an inductive-type quantum bit.

15. The structure of claim 9 , wherein the resonator is a readout resonator configured to read out a state of the at least one qubit.

16. A structure comprising:
a first surface comprising an inductive element;
a second surface comprising a first portion of a capacitive element and at least one qubit, wherein a second portion of the capacitive element is on the first surface; and
an interconnect structure coupling the first and second portions to form an equipotential between the interconnect structure, the first portion, and the second portion.

17. The structure of claim 16 , wherein a resonator comprises the inductive element and the capacitive element.

18. The structure of claim 17 , wherein the resonator comprises the interconnect structure.
