Quantum Training Lab - cryostat lab lead

Quantum Training Lab At the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, we are building up an internationally leading quantum training laboratory. The quantum training laboratory will offer hands on quantum trainin…

Characterization of quantum bits and their building blocks

Description At NQCP we are developing quantum bits. Besides characterizing the qubits themselves, a big part of that work is to characterize the materials and components which together make the quantum bits. We apply…

Engineering High-Performance Microwave Resonators for Superconducting Quantum Computers

Description Superconducting quantum computers hold immense potential but rely on microwave resonators for qubit control. These resonators, which are made up of superconducting material on silicon, use microwaves to…

Fabrication Techniques for Josephson Junctions and their Characterization

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…
