The power dependence of the superconducting resonators' Q was measured down to the single photon level. Measurements were performed on two types of microwave resonators. First, a half-wavelength coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonator made of niobium film on an oxidized high-resistivity silicon substrate was measured. Then a rectangular box resonator made of machined superconducting aluminum alloy was measured. While the CPW chip resonator's Q value showed noticeable decrease at low microwave power, the box resonator's Q showed little power dependence. This setup is intended to perform characterization of various microwave resonators, which will serve as key components in superconducting qubit in circuit QED architecture.","PeriodicalId":256575,"journal":{"name":"29th Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2014)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125750112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
