Design, simulation and analysis of qubit chip circuitry. Co-PI of Qiskit Metal.

With Dr. Chris Wilson in the Engineered Quantum Systems Laboratory.

Worked on the project 'Extensible Architecture for Superconducting Quantum Computing'. The primary focus was on a novel approach and design that would enable a scalable superconducting qubit system. This ranged from the improvement and optimization on basic quantum circuits (such as the improvement of fabrication processes for high-Q resonators) to a 3D wiring scheme that is compatible with microwave circuitry at low power and sub-Kelvin temperatures (see below links).Further;• Designed the brand new Digital Quantum Matter (DQM) laboratory. This included the setup, wiring and supporting infrastructure for two new dilution fridges.• Developed MatLab code to allow remote and automated operation of our control and measurement electronics, such as: vector network analyzers; arbitrary waveform generators; vector signal generators.• Designed, simulated and then fabricated multiple chips of superconducting microwave circuits using lithographic procedures in the Quantum NanoFab facility.• Invented sapphire based coaxial compatible 0 dB thermal anchors for use in DQM’s dilution fridge.• Collaboratively developed a variation of the surface code which uses resonant modes for data storage and transmon qubits as couplers between the resonant modes.• Intermediate supervisor and mentor for four undergraduate and masters students. Worked collaboratively with colleagues on: circuit designs; fabrication in the clean room; and experimental measurements.• Lab safety manager for DQM, ensuring all lab SOPs met health and safety policy requirements and that all lab members were up to date on required training.
