Funded Activity Summary

Understanding and eliminating dissipation in superconducting devices: the origin of two-level defects. Superconducting quantum circuits constitute the next generation of nano-electronics. They find application in medicine, biology and geophysics; from mapping mineral deposits to imaging heart function, and are a promising candidate for quantum information processing and high speed electronics. A major loss mechanism within a Josephson junction (which forms the basis of a quantum circuit) is caused by intrinsic two-level defects. What is not known is the true microscopic nature of these defects, although there are many theories. This project aims to unravel this mystery using detailed theoretical and computation analysis based on precision experimental characterisation.
