Abstract
The tunneling of Cooper pairs across a Josephson junction (JJ) allows for the nonlinear inductance necessary to construct superconducting qubits, amplifiers, and various other quantum circuits. An alternative approach using hybrid superconductor-semiconductor JJs can enable superconducting qubit architectures with all electric control. Here we present continuous-wave and time-domain characterization of gatemon qubits and coplanar waveguide resonators based on an InAs two-dimensional electron gas. We show that the qubit undergoes a vacuum Rabi splitting with a readout cavity, and we drive coherent Rabi oscillations between the qubit ground and first excited states. We measure qubit relaxation times to be <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><a:mrow><a:msub><a:mi>T</a:mi><a:mn>1</a:mn></a:msub><a:mo>=</a:mo></a:mrow></a:math> 100 ns over a 1.5 GHz tunable band. We detail the loss mechanisms present in these materials through a systematic study of the quality factors of coplanar waveguide resonators. While various loss mechanisms are present in III-V gatemon circuits, we detail future directions in enhancing the relaxation times of qubit devices on this platform.
