About this opportunity
Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its nobel-ice-modulated superconducting circuit. Background: Superconducting resonators and qubits must hit target frequencies with � kHz precision, yet lithography, thin-film variation and unknown surface adsorbates routinely scatter them by >100 MHz�forcing designers to leave wide spacing between elements, accept low wafer yield, or add lossy, noisy tuning hardware. Today�s state-of-the-art fixes are: (1) embedded SQUID loops flux-biased through extra control lines�effective but l...
