Research Interests

Our group, “Theory of Quantum Circuits & Materials“, will focus on the vibrant intersection of superconducting quantum circuits and quantum materials. More specifically, we are interested in the development of novel superconducting qubits and Josephson devices with applications to quantum information processing and superconducting electronics. Although we are a theoretical research group, we maintain active collaborations with many experimental labs. Examples of current research topics include voltage-tunable superconducting qubits, novel qubit control protocols, quantum-limited amplifiers, Josephson diodes, and triple hybrid materials that combine superconductors, ferromagnets, and semiconductors.

If you are interested in joining, please have a look at our webpage and publications. Also, kindly reach out to us via email to learn more and arrange a meeting.
