Exploits the quantum behavior of superconducting Josephson junctions and materials to develop novel superconducting electronic devices, circuits, systems, and precision measurement techniques for state-of-the-art electrical measurements.
The Superconductive Electronics Group utilizes the quantum effects of Josephson junctions in application-specific superconducting integrated circuits for electrical metrology, RF communications, and computing. The Quantum Voltage Project develops and disseminates standard reference instruments and measurement best practices for dc and ac voltage metrology as well as researching the next generation of quantum-based electrical standards for dc to RF waveform and signal metrology. The Flux Quantum Electronics Project develops cryogenic superconductive circuits and precision measurement techniques for quantum computing, RF communications and calibrations, and advanced, energy-efficient computing.
Presenter: Sam Benz
Fundamental standards for voltage, dc and ac, are based on the Josephson Effect. In this talk from the Applied Superconductivity Conference 2016, Sam Benz discusses the development, state-of-the-art, and future prospects for these standards.
