Josephson junctions form the essential non-linearity for almost all superconducting qubits. The junction is formed when two superconducting electrodes come within similar to 1 nm of each other. Although the capacitance of these electrodes is a small fraction of the total qubit capacitance, the nearby electric fields are more concentrated in dielectric surfaces and can contribute substantially to the total dissipation. We have developed a technique to experimentally investigate the effect of these electrodes on the quality of superconducting devices. We use lambda/4 coplanar waveguide resonators to emulate lumped qubit capacitors. We add a variable number of these electrodes to the capacitive end of these resonators and measure how the additional loss scales with the number of electrodes. We then reduce this loss with fabrication techniques that limit the amount of lossy dielectrics. We then use these techniques for the fabrication of Xmon qubits on a silicon substrate to improve their energy relaxation times by a factor of 5. Published by AIP Publishing.
