Research Associate in Superconducting Rf Engineering

We are seeking a committed researcher to integrate mechanical resonators into superconducting qubits. Coupling between a mechanical resonator and a qubit is a key to controlling single phonons, to creating ultra-sensitive detectors for force and displacement, and ultimately to studying mesoscopic quantum superpositions of millions of nucleons. Our approach...

We aim to develop a new type of microwave parametric amplifier which exploits the non-linear electrical permittivity of paraelectric crystals. In this implementation, the amplifier will be fabricated on the surface of a wafer made of quantum paraelectric material such as strontium titanate or potassium tantalate. We are seeking a researcher to design,...
