CU Denver NIST PREP:
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) hosts the Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) which is designed to provide valuable laboratory experience and financial assistance to undergraduates postbachelors degree holders graduate students masters degree holders postdocs and faculty. PREP is a 5year cooperative agreement between NIST laboratories and participating PREP Universities to establish a collaborative research relationship between NIST and U.S. institutions of higher education in the following disciplines including (but may not be limited to) biochemistry biological sciences chemistry computer science engineering electronics materials science mathematics nanoscale science neutron science physical science physics and statistics.
Research Title:
Readout Systems for Quantum Sensors and Qubits based on Superconducting Devices
NIST sponsor name:
Douglas Bennett
The work will entail:
The successful applicant will develop readout systems for quantum sensors and qubits based on superconducting devices. These readout systems will consist of microwave components amplifiers and highspeed data acquisition systems using field programmablegate arrays. The sensors and readout circuitry will make use of superconducting materials low temperatures and quantum mechanical effects. Key goals are to realize more sensitive and larger format sensor and readout circuits. The successful applicant will also support testing or perform testing of sensors and readout circuitry at ambient and cryogenic temperatures.
Sr. Research Associate
What you will do:
- Develop firmware and software to readout quantum sensors and qubits on platforms based on superconducting devices including using a hardware description language such as VHDL 25
- Help optimize readout systems to enable more sensitive and larger format sensor and readout circuits including optimization of the signal to noise of the microwave readout roomtemperature and cryogenic components 25
- Develop digital signal process algorithms to enable signal processing of the sensors and qubit data on the field programmablegate arrays and thus enable rapid feedback to the measurement system 25
- Regularly communicate work status to group members and disseminate results through internal and external publications and presentations. Interact with internal and external collaborators. Disseminate results through publications and presentations 15
- Presenting results at internal meetings and occasional meetings with external stakeholders 10
Applicants must meet minimum qualifications at the time of hire.
- A PhD in Physics Computer Science Engineering Manufacturing or a related field.
- 8 or more years of relevant experience.
- Familiarity with developing highspeed readout systems.
- Familiarity with cryogenic and roomtemperature microwave components.
- Ability to develop digital signal processing algorithms.
- Strong oral and written communication skills.
This position requires an onsite presence on campus 5 days a week.
