The origin of magnetic flux noise in Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices with a power spectrum scaling as $1/f$ ($f$ is frequency) has been a puzzle for over 20 years. This noise limits the decoherence time of superconducting…
We propose a model for 1/f flux noise in superconducting devices (f is frequency). The noise is generated by the magnetic moments of electrons in defect states which they occupy for a wide distribution of times before escaping. A trapped…
Introducing disorderness in the superconducting materials has been considered promising to enhance the electromagnetic impedance and realize noise-resilient superconducting qubits. Despite a number of pioneering implementations, the…
Magnetic flux noise is a dominant source of dephasing and energy relaxation in superconducting qubits. The noise power spectral density varies with frequency as $1/f^\alpha$ with $\alpha \sim 1$ and spans 13 orders of magnitude. Recent work…
The microscopic origin of $1/f$ magnetic flux noise in superconducting circuits has remained an open question for several decades despite extensive experimental and theoretical investigation. Recent progress in superconducting devices for…
The emergence of states with long-range correlations in a disordered landscape is rare, as disorder typically suppresses the particle mobility required for long-range coherence. But when more than two energy levels are available per site,…
Strongly disordered pseudogapped superconductors are expected to display arbitrary high values of kinetic inductance close to superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) that makes them attractive for the implementation of dissipationless…
Motivated from the experimental observation of metal induced gap states (MIGS) at insulator/metal interfaces by Kiguchi {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 196803 (2003)], we have theoretically investigated the electronic properties of…
We present exact numerical calculations of supercurrent density, inductance, and impurity-induced flux noise of cylindrical superconducting wires in the nonlocal Pippard regime, which occurs when the Pippard coherence length is larger than…
We present tunneling spectroscopy and transport measurements on disordered indium oxide films that reveal the existence of a superconducting gap in an insulating state. Two films on both sides of the disorder induced superconductor to…
We present an experimental study of bilayers of a disordered Ag metal layer close to the metal-insulator transition and an Indium Oxide film which is on the insulating side of the superconductor-insulator-transition. Our results show that…
Superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and related circuits made of aluminum are known to display $1/\omega$ flux noise, where $\omega$ is frequency. A recent experiment showed that the application of an external magnetic…
The performance of superconducting devices like qubits, SQUIDs, and particle detectors is often limited by finite coherence times and 1/f noise. Various types of slow fluctuators in the Josephson junctions and the passive parts of these…
We have shown, both experimentally and theoretically, that the metal-induced gap states (MIGS) can exist in epitaxially grown organic insulator/metal interfaces. The experiment is done for alkane/Cu(001) with an element-selective near edge…
The geometry of the intermediate state (IS) flux structures of type-I superconductors, observed during early stages of magnetic flux penetration induced by an externally applied perpendicular magnetic field, is approached in terms of…
With superconducting transmon qubits --- a promising platform for quantum information processing --- two-qubit gates can be performed using AC signals to modulate a tunable transmon's frequency via magnetic flux through its SQUID loop.…
This article addresses the question whether the magnetic flux of stationary vortices or of half flux quanta generated by frustrated superconducting rings is noisy. It is found that the flux noise generated intrinsically by a superconductor…
The magnetic stability of oxygen deficiency centers on the surface of {\alpha}-quartz is investigated with first- principles calculations to understand their role in contributing to magnetic flux noise in superconducting qubits (SQs) and…
An applied magnetic field affects a superconductor in two ways -- by promoting pairing fluctuations, and by inducing topological defects called vortices that carry quantized magnetic flux. A quantitative characterization of the resultant…
A correlated material in the vicinity of an insulator-metal transition (IMT) exhibits rich phenomenology and variety of interesting phases. A common avenue to induce IMTs in Mott insulators is doping, which inevitably leads to disorder.…
