Superconducting diamond for investigating sources of interface noise

该项目旨在通过开发金刚石作为半导体/超导体材料系统的模型，确定和消除材料界面处的电磁噪声源。该项目希望通过结合新的纳米纤维发展和对金刚石材料表面化学键合的精细控制，对这些噪声源的起源产生新的理解。预期成果包括加强对超导和量子器件中噪声源的理解和控制，以及可能为创建超导量子电路提供新的材料平台。通过支持澳大利亚新兴的量子技术产业，该项目将有助于支持研究培训和更高质量的劳动力，并有可能在未来创造就业机会。

This project aims to identify and eliminate the sources of electro-magnetic noise at material interfaces, through the development of diamond as a model semiconductor/superconductor material system. The project expects to generate new understandings about the origin of these noise sources, using a combination of new nanofabrication developments and exquisite control over the surface chemical bonding of the diamond material. Expected outcomes include enhanced understanding and control of noise sources in superconducting and quantum devices, and potentially a new material platform for the creation of superconducting quantum circuits. By supporting Australia's nascent quantum technologies industry this project will help support research training and a higher quality workforce, with the possibility for enabling job creation in the future.
