Abstract
A superconducting system is provided that includes a coplanar superconducting circuit. The coplanar superconducting circuit includes a first ground plane region, a second ground plane region electrically isolated from the first ground plane region by portions of the coplanar superconducting circuit, and a tunable coupler having a first port and a second port. The tunable coupler comprises a variable inductance coupling element coupled between the first port and the second port, a first termination inductor having a first end coupled between a first end of the variable inductance element and a second end coupled to the first ground plane region, and a second termination inductor having a first end coupled between a second end of the variable inductance element and a second end coupled to the second ground plane region.
