Quantronics Laboratory (QuLab) explores the world of mesoscopic electronics. Our present focus is on quantum superconducting tunnel junction circuits and their applications to information processing. In these systems, macroscopic collective degrees of freedom like currents and voltages behave quantum-mechanically. Our experimental techniques combine nanofabrication, dilution refrigeration and ultra-low-noise microwave measurements.
