Core Capabilities
HERD at a glance
Ultra-low passband loss that preserves qubit control and readout fidelity.
<0.15 dB loss
Industry-leading <0.15 dB insertion loss preserves critical signal integrity in the passband. This unparalleled transparency directly enables much longer qubit coherence times.
Cryo-ready
Rigorously designed, manufactured, and independently tested for stable operation at the millikelvin temperatures found deep inside dilution refrigerator environments.
Quantum-native
Engineered specifically for superconducting quantum architectures. Specialized materials and geometries avoid compromising surrounding quantum hardware performance.

Recovery dynamics of a gap-engineered transmon after a quasiparticle burst
Gap-engineered transmons show reduced sensitivity to quasiparticle bursts. Elevated substrate temperature allows quasiparticles to overcome the engineered gap. Relaxation recovers rapidly, but thermal effects highlight constraints of gap engineering alone.

2D transmons with lifetimes and coherence times exceeding 1 millisecond
Demonstrates tantalum transmons on high-resistivity silicon reaching 2D qubit lifetimes up to ~1.7 ms and high echo coherence. Supports 99.994% single-qubit gate fidelity, representing a major step toward practical, wafer-scalable quantum processors.

An rf-SQUID-based traveling-wave parametric amplifier with -84 dBm input saturation power
Presents an rf-SQUID-based Josephson TWPA achieving −84 dBm average saturation power and ~20 dB gain over 3.5–8.5 GHz. This architecture provides near-quantum-limited noise performance through the use of thousands of coupled rf-SQUID cells.
