Abstract

We present thin-film niobium (Nb) spiral resonators exhibiting large geometric inductance, high critical magnetic fields, and high single-photon quality factors. These low-loss geometric inductors can be a compelling alternative to kinetic inductors to create high-impedance superconducting devices for applications that require magnetic fields. By varying the spiral pitch, we realize resonators with characteristic impedances ranging from 3.25–7.09kΩ. We measure the temperature and magnetic-field-dependent losses and find that the high-impedance resonators maintain an intrinsic quality factor above approximately 105 for parallel magnetic fields of up to 1 T. These properties make spiral Nb resonators a promising candidate for quantum devices that require circuit elements with high impedance and magnetic-field resilience.
