The School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting 3.5-year PhD project on quantum technologies using solid-state, scalable, and highly coherent superconducting quantum circuits.
The project includes the design, modelling, fabrication and characterisation of quantum electronics devices and systems. The students will also be expected to engage with the UK Quantum Technology Programme, including collaborative working and networking activities with other UK Universities, industry and government agencies.
The goal of the project is developing and testing multimode microwave quantum memory for superconducting qubits. It aims to demonstrate high-fidelity and long-lived coherent storage and retrieval of a single microwave photon in a multi-mode memory coupled to a fixed-frequency superconducting qubit.
You will design and fabricate qubits and their coupling element using advanced simulation tools and the state-of-the-art James Watt Nanofabrication Centre. The devices are characterized in our lab, and at the partner institution UCL with spectroscopic and time-resolved microwave signals in dilution refrigerators.
The project is part of the UK Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub. This project will enable you to develop a strong network in quantum technologies, acquire a broad set of skills spanning quantum control, cryogenics, high-frequency electronics, and nanofabrication, and ultimately contribute to the development of a novel class of quantum computing elements.
