Summary
This project will realize nanoscale amplifier devices tailored for the rapidly advancing quantum technology. These amplifiers will work in the microwave frequency range where quantum devices are typically operated. Quantum parametric amplifiers are prominently featured in applications such as quantum-limited detection, as well as coupling of distant quantum circuits. The amplifiers will be built out of a combination of superconductor and semiconductor materials and will use nanowires as their core elements. The project will improve the nanowire growth to attain defect-free, epitaxial growth w
