Angstrom Engineering Inc. is a Canadian company which has been providing high-quality physical vapour**deposition (PVD) and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) machines to the global research community since**1992. Recently, Angstrom has sought to improve their products by gaining a better understanding of how they**will be applied to the specific science and engineering problems facing the research community. By partnering**with experts within the Canadian academic research community and hiring highly qualified personnel -**including many PhD level scientists educated at Canadian universities - Angstrom has realized a significant**improvement in product performance across a wide variety of applications. Angstrom is currently investigating**a new and exciting technology - quantum computing - and how their systems can support research and**development in this area. One particularly important feature of quantum computing is the superconducting**quantum bit (qubit), the fabrication of which requires utilizing a PVD process to create a structure known as a**Josephson junction. Angstrom is eager to optimize the performance of its PVD systems in creating Josephson**junctions. However, Angstrom does not currently have the infrastructure or expertise required to guide these**development efforts. Angstrom is seeking to partner with Dr. Christopher Wilson and the Institute for Quantum**Computing (IQC) - a world leading facility conveniently located at the nearby University of Waterloo - to**provide the technical guidance and appropriate facilities that will be required to make this development effort**successful.

Angstrom Engineering Inc.是一家加拿大公司，自1992年以来一直为全球研究界提供高质量的物理气相沉积（PVD）和化学气相沉积（CVD）机器。最近，Angstrom试图通过更好地了解它们将如何应用于研究界面临的特定科学和工程问题来改进他们的产品。通过与加拿大学术研究界的专家合作，并聘请高素质的人员-包括许多在加拿大大学接受教育的博士水平的科学家- Angstrom在各种应用中实现了产品性能的显着改进。Angstrom目前正在研究一项令人兴奋的新技术-量子计算-以及他们的系统如何支持这一领域的研究和开发。量子计算的一个特别重要的特征是超导 ** 量子位（qubit），其制造需要利用PVD工艺来创建称为 ** 约瑟夫森结的结构。Angstrom渴望优化其PVD系统在创建约瑟夫森 ** 结方面的性能。然而，Angstrom目前并不具备指导这些 ** 开发工作所需的基础设施或专业知识。Angstrom正在寻求与Christopher Wilson博士和量子计算研究所（IQC）合作，该研究所是位于滑铁卢大学附近的世界领先的设施，旨在提供技术指导和适当的设施，使这项开发工作 ** 取得成功。
