A Quantum Printed Circuit Board for Quantum Computing

ECE faculty profile picture bishopPROJECT DESCRIPTION
Superconducting circuits are one of the most promising platforms to ultimately realize fault-tolerant quantum computers. Various superconductors are potential candidates for quantum circuits. A proper quantum printed circuit board (PCB) that consists of potential superconductor candidates is essential to verify their superconductivity at low temperatures. The PCB should well fit into the cryogenic instrument at Bishop Lab and has the capability to conduct 4-point resistance measurements of different superconductors.

LABORATORY MENTOR
Zhancheng Yao

RESEARCH GOALS
– The first 4-week in-person session: RET participant designs and iterates a PCB for the cryostat at Bishop Lab.
– The last 2-week remote session: RET participant writes a script to conduct some 4-point resistance measurement using the designed PCB.

LEARNING GOALS
– General quantum computing concepts
– PCB design
– Programming
– Other lab skills if time allows
