One example includes a superconducting circuit. The circuit includes a plurality of layers comprising a first conductor layer and a second conductor layer overlying the first conductor layer, each of the first and second conductor layers comprising at least one signal element. The circuit also includes a ground grid that is conductively coupled to ground and comprises a first plurality of parallel ground lines that occupy the first conductor layer and extend in a first direction and a second plurality of parallel ground lines that occupy the second conductor layer and extend in a second direction that is orthogonal with respect to the first direction.
