Quantum Electrical Standards

Develop novel and improved quantum electrical standards for electrical current, electrical resistance, and voltage.

Contributions to QuantumFrontiers

  • Support collaboration on new materials for standards (e.g. Graphene), measurement techniques and capabilities (i.e. nanomagnetism measurements to study topology or quantum calibrated AFM).
  • Development and optimization of semiconductor based single electron pumps for quantized current generation.
  • Studies of single electron transport and transport statistics using single electron detectors. Studies of single electron quantum optics in semiconductor systems and theory of mesoscopic and single electron transport.
  • Development of electrical precision measurement setups for the traceable measurement of ultra low currents and resistance quantization with ultimately low uncertainty.
  • Development of high temperature superconductor circuits for high frequency Josephson devices.
  • Utilize the improved uncertainties to validate the foundations of electrical quantum metrology by realizing the most precise measurement to date of the quantum metrology triangle.

Collaborative Innovations

  • Theory development for single electron quantum optics of single electron quantum optics (e.g.: Hong Ou Mandel) experiments (Recher  TUBS, Schumacher, Hohls PTB)
  • Joint characterization of twisted layer graphene stacks by transport and optics (Recher TUBS, Schumacher PTB)
  • Joint characterization of GaN two-dimensional electron gases for quantum metrology (Recher TUBS, Schumacher PTB)
