A recent paper by Mohebi and Mohseni provides additional insight into the engineering challenges and innovations necessary for advancing superconducting quantum processing units (QPUs):

# '''Decoherence and Noise Mitigation:''' The paper emphasizes that decoherence—primarily due to quasiparticle tunneling—is a major obstacle that limits qubit performance. Improved material innovations and optimized control techniques are essential to reduce noise and enhance qubit coherence.<ref name="MohebiMohseni2025">{{Cite journal |title=An Overview of Josephson Junctions Based QPUs |author=Omid Mohebi and Alireza Hesam Mohseni |date=3 April 2025 |doiarxiv=10.48550/arXiv.2504.02500 |url=https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2504.02500}}</ref>

# '''Fabrication and Reproducibility:''' Achieving consistent and reproducible Josephson junctions is crucial for scaling up superconducting QPUs. The study discusses advanced lithography techniques and control of junction geometry as methods to minimize fluctuations in critical current, thereby enhancing qubit fidelity.<ref name="MohebiMohseni2025" />

# '''Balancing Qubit Parameters:''' The authors highlight the trade-offs between achieving large anharmonicity (to suppress charge noise) and maintaining the nonlinearity required for effective qubit operation. Striking the optimal balance between these factors is pivotal for the development of robust, scalable quantum processors.<ref name="MohebiMohseni2025" />
