As part of the QVLS-Q1 project, the following Master's thesis is to be awarded:
"Design and construction of a superconducting magnetic field array to generate Zeeman splitting in ions."
The aim of the QVLS-Q1 project is to realize an ion trap-based quantum computer. A team of IQO, TUBS and PTB employees is working on the design of the planned quantum computer. Therefore the ion traps will be operated at cryogenic temperatures.
The master's thesis is supervised by the cryogenic team of Christian Ospelkaus' group, which designs the cryogenic ion trap experiments and operates them at HITec. The aim of the work is to develop a magnetic field array consisting of superconducting coils. These are to be used in addition to an existing magnetic field array to enable the magnetic field axis to be aligned in two spatial directions. The magnetic field coils are to be operated in persistent mode. A suitable switch must be developed and constructed for this purpose. The magnetic field coils developed are to be characterized in a separate test setup.
