Arbetsbeskrivning

We are seeking two persons to contribute to a research project on travelling wave parametric amplifiers. Such amplifiers are important for reading out quantum information in quantum computers.

About us

The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/ advances the frontiers in quantum technology, nanoscience, photonics and future electronic systems - for technical and societal development. Our cross-disciplinary approach gives interesting collaborations in academy, industry and society, and is a driving force for innovations, results and breakthroughs. We offer a vibrant, international research environment and direct access to world-class nanofabrication facilities.

At the https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/research/quantum-technology/, we explore how quantum physics can unlock radically new ways of processing information - far beyond the limits of classical systems. Our research spans quantum computing, sensing, transduction, thermodynamics, and foundations, all aimed at harnessing the powerful behavior of light and matter at the quantum level. We offer a vibrant, international research environment and direct access to world-class nanofabrication facilities.

The Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology is a 12-year project aimed at building a quantum computer based on superconducting circuits. A part of the project is addressing specific challenges related to this goal. One such challenge is to efficiently read out quantum information from qubits. To achieve this, a first-stage microwave amplifier with very low noise is required. Over the past five years, our group has been developing Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs), and this project is a continuation of those efforts.
