Missions

The post-doctoral project will focus on hybrid quantum circuits. Based on quantum circuit techniques, in particular low mode volume, high quality factor superconducting resonators and quantum limit amplifiers, it is possible to detect microwave signals emitted by spins contained in femtoLiter samples. The aim of the project will be to further develop this high-sensitivity platform, possibly adapting it to near-field scanning imaging. A second objective will be to measure molecular magnet systems in order to assess their potential for quantum memories.

Activités

Simulation, fabrication, implementation and optimization of superconducting microwave resonators for the detection of electron spins, in particular in the context of a scanning probe in a clean field. Evaluation of the potential of molecular ions for quantum memories.
