[摘要]:We present measurements of 1/f frequency noise in both linear and Josephson-junction-embedded superconducting aluminum resonators in the low power, low temperature regime-typical operating conditions for superconducting qubits. The addition of the Josephson junction does not result in additional frequency noise, thereby placing an upper limit for fractional critical current fluctuations of 1 x 10(-8) (1/root Hp) at 1 Hz for sub-micron, shadow evaporated junctions. These values imply a minimum dephasing time for a superconducting qubit due to critical current noise of 40-1400 mu s depending on qubit architecture. Occasionally, at temperatures above 50mK, we observe the activation of individual fluctuators which increase the level of noise significantly and exhibit Lorentzian spectra.
