Engineering A Single Fluxonium Qubit

This project aims to target a novel combination of fluxonium qubit parameters, specifically achieving energy values of EJ/h ≈ 4.00 GHz, EC/h ≈ 1.0 GHz, and EL/h ≈ 0.7 GHz. These parameters were selected based on a thorough review of existing experimental and theoretical literature. By iteratively designing, simulating, fabricating, and characterizing each component of the fluxonium qubit, we aim to achieve the desired energy values and understand the process required to obtain them.
