515222$1.0Mvalue2024start2026end

This project is to develop a prototype of an ultralow-noise microwave X-band transceiver with the capabilities of both transmitting and detecting microwave signals closer to the quantum limit.

Broadband quantum amplifiers for enhanced superconducting resonator readout$329Kvalue2026start2028end

The Project is a collaboration between Dr. Louis Gaudreau at NRC’s Quantum and Nanotechnologies Research Centre and Qubic Inc., a Canadian startup developing low-heat dissipation, broadband cryogenic amplifiers. The goal is to test and optimize a kinetic-inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifier (KITWPA) to improve the readout of superconducting microwave resonators used in NRC’s microwave-to-optical quantum transducer. Qubic will design, fabricate, and iterate to improve prototype amplifiers, while NRC will benchmark their performance on resonators coupled to spin and superconducting qub
