Abstract
Devices, methods, and/or computer-implemented methods that can facilitate formation of a self assembled monolayer on a quantum device are provided. According to an embodiment, a device can comprise a qubit formed on a substrate. The device can further comprise a self assembled monolayer formed on the qubit.
Claims10
A method, comprising:
- removing one or more oxide layers from at least one surface of a quantum device being formed on a substrate, wherein the quantum device comprises a niobium based material at the at least one surface of the quantum device, and the quantum device comprises a qubit;
- and
- depositing an organic component comprising a thiol on the at least one surface of the quantum device, wherein the thiol of the organic component interacts with the niobium based material at the at least one surface of the quantum device to cause the organic component to form a self assembled monolayer on the at the at least one surface of the quantum device.
