Abstract

Novel component designs, be they full qubits, or different styles of couplers, are a significant part of superconducting qubit research. Implementing them into a chip design with experiments in mind to test the effectiveness of such novel components is an important step in said research.

Description

The team is to create one (or more) novel components for use in a qubit chip design. The team members are encouraged to look at relevant literature for inspiration or attempt to create an entirely novel layout themselves.
Once the novel components have been created, and tested for potential bugs, they are to be implemented in a qubit chip design, in such a way to be able to experimentally test if the novel components are functioning as desired. Eg. a new qubit coupler would be added to a two qubit chip, with one qubit having a standard design, and the other having the novel coupler.

The team should consider what experimental measurements they would undertake if the chip was fabricated and setup in a dilution fridge.

Deliverable

• The .py files of the new component(s) made. • The design notebook of the chip design implementing the new component. • A writeup of the reason for the design, and how the team proposes to measure the chip to test the new component.
