Abstract

Provided is a superconducting qubit comprising a capacitor and a Josephson junction connected to the capacitor. The capacitor comprises two opposing surfaces coated with a superconducting material. When the superconducting qubit is placed in a vacuum, a region between the opposing surfaces is evacuated. A configuration of the capacitor is such that an energy relaxation lifetime of the qubit is at least 100µs. The capacitor may comprise two electrode structures comprising a dielectric material coated with a superconducting material, each opposing surface provided by a corresponding electrode structure. Three mutually perpendicular lines can be drawn through the dielectric material, each line intersecting the superconducting material on two opposing sides of the electrode structure.

Abstract

For eliminating turbulence in a wall-bounded turbulent flow comprising a flow velocity distribution in a direction perpendicular to the wall, the flow velocity distribution in the direction perpendicular to the wall is distorted. This may be done by locally generating additional vortices in the turbulent flow close to the flow-bounding wall, which are distributed over a section of the flow-bounding wall extending in a main flow direction of the turbulent flow, and whose axes predominantly extend parallel to the flow-bounding wall. Distorting the flow velocity distribution in the direction perpendicular to the wall may also be achieved by increasing the flow velocity close to the flow-bounding wall by locally immersing a flow deviating structure in the turbulent flow, or by equalizing the flow velocity distribution in the direction perpendicular to the wall by locally immersing a flow dividing structure in the turbulent flow.
