Conceptual anchors
- josephson-junction-as-nonlinear-element is the shared superconducting backbone, even when the weak link is semiconductor-defined rather than oxide-barrier-defined.
- spin-orbit-coupling-for-qubit-control is the key separator between purely gate-tunable Josephson devices and spin-active Andreev hybrids.
- charge-noise-sweet-spot is the right lens for comparing how much electrical tunability each architecture gains without paying too much dephasing cost.
Hybrid control spectrum
gatemonandgatemoniumuse the semiconductor mainly to reshape the Josephson element: the qubit is still read most naturally as a superconducting circuit whose nonlinearity has become gate tunable.andreev-spin-qubitandferbo-qubitmove the semiconductor into the qubit degree of freedom itself, so parity stability, spin-orbit structure, and Andreev-level engineering matter as much as ordinary circuit-QED coherence numbers.all-semiconductor-superconducting-qubitis the fabrication-endpoint branch, asking whether the whole superconducting stack can inherit semiconductor-style integration advantages rather than just a gate-tunable weak link.
Family structure
gatemonandgatemoniumare superconducting-circuit descendants that replace conventional tunnel junction elements with gate-tunable semiconductor weak links.andreev-spin-qubitandferbo-qubitlean harder on Andreev-bound-state physics, using the semiconductor not just as a tunable junction but as part of the qubit degree of freedom itself.all-semiconductor-superconducting-qubitis best read as a materials-and-fabrication endpoint for this family, not yet the central coherence benchmark.- For the non-hybrid dot and donor branch of the same broader materials ecosystem, see semiconducting-moc.
Boundary with the topological family
This family shares hardware vocabulary with topological-moc such as InAs/Al heterostructures, Josephson weak links, and strong spin-orbit coupling, but it makes a different promise. gatemon, andreev-spin-qubit, and ferbo-qubit stay here because their value comes from tunability, Andreev structure, or circuit-level protection inside an otherwise conventional control stack. Once the central claim becomes nonlocal parity encoding or a phase-biased topological channel that is supposed to suppress errors before code overhead, route the reader to topological-moc instead.
Editorial note
This family is about hybridization, not mere material substitution. Keep links focused on what the semiconductor changes in the circuit physics, control surface, or protection story.
