The PREP researcher will work in the Advanced Microwave Photonics Group (686.05) to do research on superconducting qubit readout using nonreciprocal amplifiers. Specifically, the researcher will work on fabricating and characterizing superconducting qubits and parametric amplifiers with the goal to improve qubit readout metrics while reducing peripheral hardware requirements.
This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that its research staff may want to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and, therefore, requires those institutions to be recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program involves staff from a wide range of backgrounds conducting scientific research across various fields. Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research. CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment.
