Just as the sound of a guitar depends on its strings and the materials used for its body, the performance of a quantum computer depends on the composition of its building blocks. Arguably the most critical components are the devices that encode information in quantum computers.
One such device is the transmon qubit — a patterned chip made of metallic niobium layers on top of a substrate, such as silicon….
