The Cleland group is developing superconducting, mechanical, and optomechanical structures for applications to quantum information. Applying the tools of advanced lithographic processing to a wide range of materials, we can design and build superconducting qubit circuits with excellent quantum coherence; mechanical devices with operating frequencies in the microwave band; structures that convert signals between microwave and infrared optical frequencies; and we are developing means to integrate these devices to provide new functionality in the quantum domain.
Jeffrey Li put together a great video of what it's like to work in the Cleland lab - check it out!
