Abstract
A vertical Josephson Junction (JJ) qubit device that is fabricated from crystalline silicon material is provided. The JJ device has a substrate of epitaxial silicon, a lower superconducting electrode that is a superconducting region of the epitaxial silicon and an upper superconducting electrode of a metallic superconductor. The JJ device also has a junction layer. A section of the junction layer between the lower and upper superconducting electrodes forms a junction of the JJ device. Resonator and/or capacitor wiring of the JJ device is also fabricated using the metallic superconductor. The superconducting region is epitaxial silicon that is doped or implanted with boron or gallium. The substrate, the junction layer, and the implanted epitaxial silicon share a contiguous crystalline structure.
