The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $799,967 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Saint Louis University to conduct research on advanced quantum materials and devices for qubit platforms. The project, titled "EXPANDQISE: Track 1: Microwave Resonator Probes of Quantum Materials for Advancing Qubit Platforms," aims to develop novel quantum materials and devices with improved performance for quantum information science and engineering (QISE) applications. Key aspects of the research include:
- Investigating advanced superconducting quantum materials by measuring superconducting resonator quality factors and applying surface treatment techniques to mitigate losses.
- Embedding semiconducting carbon nanotubes in superconducting resonators to leverage their unique properties for quantum sensing and information processing.
- Utilizing the device design, fabrication, and measurement as a workforce training tool, integrating students at various levels into the cutting-edge QISE research.
The project also includes a $221,623 sub-award to The Washington University to undertake complementary research activities on the design, fabrication, and testing of microwave resonators for evaluating different quantum material samples. The project period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
