Qubits

Quantum bits defined in superconducting circuits

Quantum Engineering

Near-quantum-limited traveling wave parametric amplifiers (TWPAs)

Quantum Workforce

Vibrant team of post docs, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers

Quantum Engineers

Engineering physics in the pursuit of coherent quantum systems and extensible technologies

Mission:

We are a diverse team of physicists and engineers working together to understand, design, manufacture, and control coherent quantum systems comprising superconducting artificial atoms (qubits) for quantum information science and technology applications. Our efforts span fundamental research to applied physics and systems engineering.
