Superconducting Resonators and Quantum Bits: Simulation and/or Cryogenic Measurements

Chip

Bachelor/Masters Project Description

Quantum computing is receiving much attention these years with various platforms competing to demonstrate superior properties. This project focuses on the superconducting platform and will be carried out in the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme’s ‘Materials & Qubit characterization’ team whose task is to build and systematically optimize quantum hardware via simulations followed by measurements and analysis.

The student will learn to do cryogenic measurements of superconducting resonators and superconducting qubits fabricated by the NQCP fabrication team. A particular focus will be on improving material quality determined via resonator quality factor or superconducting qubit coherence time measurements on 5-qubit quantum processor chips. Part of the project may also involve simulation and design of these superconducting circuits with e.g. Qiskit metal and/or Ansys.

Finally, the project may also utilize other characterization techniques to give additional insight into the superconducting components.
