Project Description

The project involves design, fabrication, and test of quantum microwave, acoustic, and optical components. Most urgent need is related to superconducting matching networks to efficiently and coherently transfer electrical signals to the acoustic cavities. This requires extensive use of modelling software such as SONNET. Interfacing between the fabricated device at 20mK with room temperature electronics and lasers will also be necessary. Modelling, understanding, and presentation of acquired data will also be performed. This supports the NIST mission of establishing the science and technology of future quantum networks through development of quantum receivers and transducers.  The research project is experimental.
