Title: NIST Researches Hybrid Ferromagnetic-Superconductor Systems for Quantum Computing
NIST scientists are developing hybrid ferromagnetic-superconductor systems to improve quantum computing technologies. The project focuses on strong coupling between ferromagnetic devices and photons, with potential applications in measuring fundamental magnetic excitations (magnons) and transducing quantum information between microwave and optical frequencies.
Key points:
– Investigating strong coupling between ferromagnets and microwave/optical photons
– Developing novel metrology for measuring magnetic excitations
– Exploring transduction of quantum information between frequencies
– Investigating non-reciprocal ferromagnetic devices for noise isolation
– Demonstrating record-setting coupling between Fe-Co alloy and Nb resonator
– Next steps include miniaturization and gigahertz magnetic manipulation
The research aims to enable better understanding of magnetic materials and manipulation methods, while also advancing quantum computing and quantum network technologies.
