Abstract:

Quantum devices of all types are extremely sensitive to losses at surfaces and interfaces. Atomic layer deposition and atomic layer etch are emerging as superior alternatives to traditional fabrication techniques because they offer the potential for engineered interfaces with less loss. We will discuss the current status and future potential of these techniques for improved superconducting, color center, and photonic quantum devices.
