Superconducting qubits

Quantum processors today are built from fixed aluminium junctions. Graphene makes the junction itself tunable — turning a fabricated constant into a control knob.

The opportunity

Gate-tunable qubits allow frequency control without added flux circuitry and its noise budget.

Our approach

Graphene Josephson junctions in van der Waals stacks, coupled to superconducting circuits.

Where it goes

Quantum computing research hardware and national quantum-technology programmes.

The device stack

The device is a graphene weak link between superconducting contacts, encapsulated and gated — read out with standard circuit-QED techniques.

01

Junction

Graphene weak link between superconducting electrodes carries a supercurrent.

02

Encapsulation

Hexagonal boron nitride stacking preserves mobility and interface quality.

03

Tuning

An electrostatic gate sets carrier density, and with it the critical current.

04

Readout

Coupled to a microwave resonator for dispersive measurement at millikelvin.

Why graphene

Every property here is set during growth and formulation — the performance is the material, not a coating on top of it.

01Electrical gate tuning replaces fixed junction geometry — frequency becomes controllable
02Engineered layer stacking gives access to correlated and superconducting states by design
03Low intrinsic loss in clean encapsulated stacks supports coherence targets
04Shared fabrication toolchain with our memory and terahertz device lines
05Research-stage work, sequenced toward demonstrator devices with academic partners
Work with the material

Sampling, qualification and pilot programmes run from our Hyderabad centre.
