Abstract

Circuits and methods of operation that can facilitate reducing surface losses for quantum devices are provided. In one example, a quantum device can comprise a dielectric layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The dielectric layer can comprise a recess formed in a surface of the dielectric layer that reduces a thickness of the dielectric layer from a first thickness external to a footprint of the recess to a second thickness within the footprint of the recess. The second thickness can be less than the first thickness. The first electrode can be positioned within the footprint of the recess. The second electrode can be electrically isolated from the first electrode by the dielectric layer. The first and second electrodes can be positioned on opposing surfaces of the dielectric layer.
