Michael Stewart (Fed)
Michael Stewart is an experimental physicist in the Atom Scale Device Group in the Nanoscale Device Characterization Division of the Physical Measurement Lab. His research is focused on building a realization of the Ampere from silicon single electron devices. Reaching this goal requires exploring and understanding different fabrication methods, materials, and measurement techniques and their impact on noise, yield, and pumping characteristics. His team works to fabricate devices with minimal variation while also designing measurement techniques which mitigate variation and noise to enable parallelization. These research areas and goals have strong overlap with semiconductor-based qubit development and Dr. Stewart’s team works closely with industry on ameliorating noise in qubits. Dr. Stewart graduated from Brown University with a M.S. and Ph.D. in physics and received his undergraduate degree in physics and mathematics from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He has received a Bronze Medal from the Department of Commerce.
