We demonstrate a package containing a superconducting quantum processor wherein we use Pogo pins (50 Ohm) to access the topologically isolated qubits. This allows us to enclose our quantum processor in a non-magnetic environment where we can maintain RF-Hygiene and the entire assembly is compatible with low temperature operation. Self-alignment of the parts allows for rapid testing and scalable integration. We demonstrate low energy loss and high phase coherence comparable to the standard packages involving wirebonds. Single and two-qubit gate fidelities are on par with standard packaging schemes with cross talk less than -40 db at the frequencies of operation. Results are promising for integration with extensible qubit architectures.
