==========

Understanding and addressing materials losses is key to implementing the next generation of quantum technology.  In this webinar, you will learn how studying materials and resonators accelerates qubit development.  

  • Jim Phillips of Zurich Instruments will explain Hall measurements, RF reflectometry for quantum dot stability diagrams, and the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique for resonator characterization.
  • Corey Rae McRae of CU Boulder and NIST Boulder will dive into the use of microwave resonators as a tool to better understand superconducting qubit materials at millikelvin temperatures and ultralow powers. She will show recent results in which resonator center frequency and Q-factor measurements are performed faster using PDH than is possible with the traditional VNA method.
