    computation ESR grand challenge materials nitrides oxides resonator superconductor

    Summary

     

    Conventional superconductors have trouble performing well in magnetic fields required for electron spin resonance (ESR) – based quantum information processing applications. We can, however, use proximity engineering to select desired properties from different materials and combine them for improved superconducting performance in magnetic fields — an improvement that would have strong implications for the storage and transfer of quantum information in superconductor quantum circuits. In this project, we will construct composite heterostructures with nitrides, oxides and hybrid materials involving high-temperature superconducting oxides and “conventional” transition metals/nitrides. Later, we will use these new composite superconductors to demonstrate improved resonator performance and optimize growth and fabrication recipes towards large-scale quantum circuits. By optimizing the composite heterostructure, and through later integration in a superconducting quantum circuit, we hope to enable larger-scale, more efficient quantum computers.

    Developing Tools for Quantum Characterization and Validation

    Summary   Coherence is essential for quantum computation; yet it introduces a unique sensitivity to any imperfections in hardware design, control systems, and the operating environment. Overcoming these sensitivities requires a hierarchy of strategies, ranging from optimization of the hardware architecture to software solutions including quantum error correction. Randomized Benchmarking Protocols are an important family of […]

    Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of Quantum Materials, Devices and Molecules

    Summary   This project advances our ability to characterize and study novel quantum materials, quantum devices, and even individual molecules at the atomic level. By combining Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and scanning gate methods, we correlate spatial information with transport properties and can locally manipulate charge, spin and structural states.

    Ultrafast Dynamical Studies of Valley-Based Qubits

    Summary   As monolayers, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) – such as tungsten diselenide (WSe2) – become direct-bandgap semiconductors capable of emitting light. Compared to conventional direct-bandgap semiconductors, such as III-V semiconductors like GaAs, excitons (quasiparticles made of an electron hole bound with an electron) and single-layer TMDCs (SL-TMDCs) have much stronger binding energy. Excitons and […]

    Inverse Photoemission Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials

    Summary   Quantum materials that exhibit strong electron correlations lead to phenomena, such as superconductivity and topologically protected states, that are important for quantum computation, sensing, and other applications. For example, we may utilize symmetry protected topological states to make qubits that are robust against decoherence, while advances in high temperature superconductors may significantly reduce […]
