Atomic tunneling Systems and fluctuating Spins interacting with superconducting Qubits

International Workshop
25 February - 1 March 2019

Atomic tunneling systems and fluctuating spins
constitute a serious nuisance for various Josephson
junction-based devices, where they act as a source
of noise and decoherence.
The workshop aims to advance the fundamental
understanding of tunneling systems, spins and
superconducting qubits and their interaction, and
to promote progress towards future applications
like quantum computing.

Topics include

  • origin of noise in Josephson junctions
  • relaxation processes and decoherence times in
    superconducting qubits
  • physics and dynamics of tunneling systems
  • microscopic nature of tunneling systems
  • probing individual tunneling systems
  • tunneling systems far from equilibrium
  • the role of nuclear spins in tunneling systems
    and Josephson junctions
  • fluctuating electric dipoles and magnetic
    moments in superconducting circuits
  • spin-glass physics
  • prospects of quantum computing
  • origin of 1/f noise in superconducting qubits
  • production and morphology of thin oxidebarriers
    in Josephson junction
