Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Design superconducting circuits, such as qubits, resonators and Josephson junction devices, using electromagnetic and circuit simulation tools.
Oversee or carry out thin-film fabrication of superconducting devices in a cleanroom, including deposition, lithography and etching.
Set up and run cryogenic measurements in dilution refrigerators, using microwave and RF test equipment.
Analyse results on coherence time, noise and loss to find ways to improve device performance.
Design and test cryogenic readout and control electronics, such as low-noise amplifiers and microwave wiring.
Work with physicists, quantum algorithm teams and software engineers to integrate the hardware into a working quantum system.
Document test procedures, write technical reports and present findings to research or product teams.
