Magnetic stability of oxygen defects on the SiO2 surface

The magnetic stability of E′ centers and the peroxy radical on the surface of α-quartz is investigated with first-principles calculations to understand their role in magnetic flux noise in superconducting qubits (SQs) and superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) fabricated on amorphous...
