Abstract
A qubit device for use in a quantum computing environment includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer disposed on at least a portion of an upper surface of the substrate, and a transition metal silicide (TMSi) heterojunction disposed on at least a portion of an upper surface of the insulating layer. The TMSi heterojunction includes a link layer and at least first and second TMSi regions coupled with the link layer. The link layer may include a normal conductor, thereby forming a superconductor-normal conductor-superconductor (SNS) junction, or a geometric constriction, thereby forming a superconductor-geometric constriction-superconductor (ScS) junction. The link layer may form at least a portion of a channel including intrinsic or doped silicon.
