Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a superconducting microwave circuit. The circuit includes a substrate and two electrodes. The latter form an electrode pair dimensioned so as to support an electromagnetic field, which allows the circuit to be operated in the microwave domain. The substrate exhibits a raised portion, which includes a top surface and two lateral surfaces. The top surface connects the two lateral surfaces, which show respective undercuts (on the lateral sides of the raised portions). Each of the electrodes includes a structure that includes a potentially superconducting material. Two protruding structures are accordingly formed, which are shaped complementarily to the respective undercuts. This way, the shaped structure of each of the electrodes protrudes toward the other one of the electrodes of the pair.

Claim (Index 11):
A superconducting microwave circuit comprising:\n a substrate having a raised portion, which includes a top surface and two lateral surfaces, wherein the top surface connects the two lateral surfaces, the two lateral surfaces comprising respective undercuts; and two electrodes forming an electrode pair, wherein:\n each of the two electrodes comprises a structure that includes a potentially superconducting material and is shaped complementarily to a respective one of the undercuts, so as to protrude toward another one of the two electrodes, thereby forming two protruding structures, \n the electrode pair is dimensioned so as to support an electromagnetic field that allows the circuit to be operate in the microwave domain, the substrate comprises n raised portions, n\u22652, each of the n raised portions structured as the raised portion, so as to form n electrode pairs, and\n n=2, the circuit further comprising a coplanar waveguide that comprises a conducting track and a pair of return conductors on either side of the track, wherein the return conductors are separated from the conducting track by respective gaps that are filled by respective ones of the n=2 raised portions, such that opposite pairs of the undercuts of the raised portions extend longitudinally along a respective one of the gaps.
