High Energy Density Battery Composed of Energetic Materials

Abstract

Long cooldown times are a major bottleneck for the development of the next generation quantum processors based on superconducting circuits. Devices are commonly tested in dilution fridges that cool samples to 10 mK in approximately 30 hours, thereby limiting the feedback cycle between design - fabrication - characterization to about one cooldown a week. However, dilution fridges are not always optimized for fast cycling and many initial characterization measurements do not require dilution temperatures. Here, we therefore request a commercially available rapid-cycle cryostat with sample magnet based on adiabatic demagnetization for fast (3 hour cooldown time) characterization of superconducting circuits at sub-Kelvin temperatures. This new equipment will expand the Blok-lab research capabilities by (i) providing a fast method to (pre-)benchmark chip-design and fabrication of qubit samples at 100mK, (ii) allowing high-throughput resonator measurements for material characterization at 300 mK, and (iii) enabling magnetic field measurements. The instrumentation will help study new superconducting circuits and characterize material their properties to ultimately develop better quantum processors and train the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers.
