Fabrication Techniques for Josephson Junctions and their Characterization
Masters Project Description
This project explores how Josephson junctions, made with a special angled metal deposition technique, can be used to create superconducting qubits. Understanding how these junctions work is essential before building a Quantum Processor Unit (QPU). We'll be making Aluminum-based Josephson junctions and testing how well they perform under different conditions. The project will involve designing, building, and measuring these junctions, and we shall use advanced methods to analyze the data we collect.
Benefits for the Future Quantum Scientist
- Hands-on experience with cutting-edge microfabrication techniques (Electron Beam Lithography).
- Learn how to design and build Josephson junctions, a crucial component of quantum computers.
- Understand how Josephson junctions’ function under various conditions.
- Develop skills in measuring and analyzing data using advanced methods.
- Contribute to the development of Quantum Processor Units (QPUs) by understanding their building blocks
