In the QCT group at IFAE we develop superconducting quantum circuits for applications in quantum computation and quantum sensing of high energy physics events. Superconducting qubits are electrical circuits behaving as artifical atoms which resonate at the microwave frequency domain. Qubit operations correspond to microwave engineered pulses which rotate the qubit state at will, and their quantum state is read out using superconducting resonators or cavities.
In this project, the student will participate in the characterization of superconducting resonators and cavities to use with superconducting qubits, analyzing the data and evaluating the quality of the materials. Tests of device characteristics at room temperature and low temperature will be conducted.
