Claim 15:
16. An integrated circuit comprising:
a first superconducting circuit system comprising:
first superconducting circuitry fabricated on a first surface of a first circuit layer, the first circuit layer comprising a dielectric material;
a first metal layer formed on a second surface of the first circuit layer opposite the first surface;
a first through-substrate via (TSV) conductively coupled to the first metal layer and extending through the first circuit layer to the first surface; and
a first flux gasket conductively coupled to and extending from the first TSV on the first surface proximal to the first superconducting circuitry, the first flux gasket being configured to divert magnetic fields away from the superconducting circuitry; and

a second superconducting circuit system comprising:
second superconducting circuitry fabricated on a first surface of a second circuit layer, the second circuit layer comprising the dielectric material;
a second metal layer formed on a second surface of the second circuit layer opposite the first surface;
a second TSV conductively coupled to the second metal layer and extending through the second circuit layer to the first surface of the second circuit layer; and
a second flux gasket conductively coupled to and extending from the second TSV on the first surface of the second circuit layer proximal to the second superconducting circuitry, the second flux gasket being configured to divert magnetic fields away from the superconducting circuitry.
