Capacitive coupling of coherent quantum phase slip qubits to a resonator

We demonstrate capacitive coupling of coherent quantum phase slip (CQPS) flux qubits to a resonator patterned on a highly disordered TiN film. We are able to detect and characterise CQPS flux qubits with linewidths down to ∆ω = 12 ± 1 MHz on several resonator modes, and show that, unlike inductive coupling, here the coupling strength does not depend on the qubit’s energy. Since the qubit is galvanically decoupled from the resonator, our approach provides flexibility in material, design and fabrication choices for CQPS-based devices. Our results are two-fold: we report CQPS in TiN and demonstrate, to our knowledge for the first time, capacitive coupling of a CQPS flux qubit.
