The project is going to aim to model, design and perform measurements on the platform. The project will consist of three main phases:
- Modelling and Simulation. In the first months, the student will learn about multimode quantum electrodynamics and atom photon bound states. The student will then simulate the platform.
- Design and Fabrication. The student will learn how to design and fabricate the device.
- Measurements. The device will then be measured in a LD250 dilution refrigerator, a cryogenic system capable of reaching temperatures in the range of 10 mK.

Description
The project is going to aim the model, design and test readout resonators and superconducting components in grAl material platform. The project will consist of three main phases:
- Preparation and Characterization. In the first months, the student will learn about grAl and fabrication techniques, how to characterize the films and how to simulate and tune the main design parameters of superconducting resonators.
- Design. The student will focus in designing and fabricating the readout resonators, potentially to couple with other platforms.
- Testing. The chip will then be tested in a LD250 dilution refrigerator, a cryogenic systems capable of reaching temperatures in the range of 10 mK.

Innosuisse Project Positions
Our project is a joint initiative between the Quantum Device Lab at ETH Zürich and the Hybrid Quantum Circuit Lab at EPFL. This collaboration has secured an Innosuisse grant to advance the capabilities of parametric amplifiers based on superconducting circuits. Both labs have a proven track record of successful research on parametric amplifiers and will assemble a talented team to elevate this research to the next level.
We are offering three positions in our teams:
- Postdoctoral Researcher: Responsible for optimizing the design of circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) devices in simulations and experiments to enhance the capability of our amplifiers.
- Fabrication Engineer: Main responsibilities include optimizing fabrication recipes and developing processes for a new generation of devices.
- Systems Engineer: Responsible for optimizing the cryogenic packaging of the amplifiers, a key aspect for optimal device performance.
This collaborative effort combines the strengths and resources of both laboratories to advance the development of cutting-edge quantum technology. These positions are uniquely situated at the interface between academia and industry, providing an exciting opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research with diverse future career possibilities.
