The advent of two-dimensional van der Waals materials is a frontier of condensed matter physics and quantum devices.
However, characterizing such materials remains challenging due to the limitations of bulk material techniques, necessitating the development of specialized methods.
Here, we investigate the superconducting properties of BSCCO flakes by integrating them with a hybrid superconducting microwave resonator.
The hybrid resonator is significantly modified by the interaction with the flake while maintaining a high quality factor 10000.
We also observe a significant upshift of the resonator frequency with increasing temperature, as well as a positive nonlinearity.
These effects originate from a presently unknown microscopic mechanism within the flake, and can be modeled as a two-level system bath interacting with the resonant mode.
Our findings open a path for high quality hybrid circuits with van der Waals flakes for exploring novel materials and developing new devices for quantum technology.
