Proposes and analyzes the gatemonium: a fluxonium-like qubit where the large Josephson junction is replaced by a gate-tunable semiconductor junction, combining fluxonium’s noise protection with gatemon’s voltage tunability. Avoids flux-tuning and associated flux noise.

Key Results

  • Fluxonium circuit topology with semiconductor weak link
  • Gate-voltage tunability of qubit parameters
  • Inherits fluxonium protection at half-flux-quantum bias
  • Proposed implementation in InAs/Al or Ge/Al heterostructures
