    Probing Non-Equilibrium Pair-Breaking and Quasiparticle Dynamics in Nb Superconducting Resonators Under Magnetic Fields

    by Joong-Mok Park, Zhi Xiang Chong, Richard H. J. Kim, Samuel Haeuser, Randy Chan, Akshay A. Murthy, Cameron J. Kopas, Jayss Marshall, Daniel Setiawan, Ella Lachman, et al.

    We conducted a comprehensive study of the non-equilibrium dynamics of Cooper pair breaking, quasiparticle (QP) generation, and relaxation in niobium (Nb) cut from superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities, as well as various Nb resonator films from transmon qubits. Using ultrafast pump–probe spectroscopy, we were able to isolate the superconducting coherence and pair-breaking responses. Our results reveal both similarities and notable differences in the temperature- and magnetic-field-dependent dynamics of the SRF cavity and thin-film resonator samples. Moreover, femtosecond-resolved QP generation and relaxation under an applied magnetic field reveals a clear correlation between non-equilibrium QPs and the quality factor of resonators fabricated by using different deposition methods, such as DC sputtering and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering. These findings highlight the pivotal influence of fabrication techniques on the coherence and performance of Nb-based quantum devices, which are vital for applications in superconducting qubits and high-energy superconducting radio-frequency applications.

    Probing Non-Equilibrium Pair Breaking and Quasiparticle Dynamics in Nb Superconducting Resonators under Magnetic Fields

    by Jigang Wang, Joong Mok Park, Zhi Xiang Chong, Richard H. J Kim, Samuel Haeuser, Randall K Chan, Akshay A Murthy, Anna Grassellino, Alex Romanenko, Cameron J Kopas, et al.

    We conducted a comprehensive study of the non-equilibrium dynamics of Cooper pair breaking, quasiparticle (QP) generation, and relaxation in niobium (Nb) cut from superconducting radio-frequency cavities, as well as various Nb resonator films from transomon qubits. Using ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy in the regime of minimal condensate depletion, we were able to isolate the superconducting coherence and pair-breaking responses. Our results reveal both similarities and notable differences in the temperature- and magnetic field-dependent dynamics of the various Nb samples. Particularly, femtosecond-resolved QP generation and relaxation under an applied magnetic field reveals a clear correlation between non-equilibrium QPs and the quality factor of resonators fabricated by using different deposition methods such as DC sputtering and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering. These findings highlight the pivotal influence of fabrication techniques on the coherence and performance of Nb-based quantum devices, which are vital for applications in superconducting qubits and high-energy superconducting radio frequency applications.
