Metrology for superconducting qubits

Project: EU project

Project Details

Description

Metrology needed for the advent of quantum computing

Superconducting circuits are the leading technology for the realization of practical quantum computers. However, scaling-up towards full-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers involves addressing, e.g., qubit coherence, reproducibility, stability, cross-talk, control, and readout. To achieve this, a new generation of metrological methods and tools are needed.

Project develops metrology tools for superconducting qubits and applies them to state-of-the-art one- and two-qubit circuits. These new tools will underpin further engineering advances and allow for accurate characterisation of qubits and materials, as well as manipulation and read-out.

VTT MIKES develops optically driven Josephson pulse generators for scalable optimized control of superconducting qubits.
