Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Baden-Württemberg - ERDF (2014DE16RFOP001), managing authority: Ministerium für Ländlichen Raum und Verbraucherschutz, Referat 40 EFRE. Beneficiary: Universität Stuttgart. Location: Stuttgart (NUTS DE111); Germany. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 550,000, as stated by the source. Runs 2021-09-09 to 2023-06-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS). Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): The requested large unit is a 3He-4He demixing cryostat, which is used to perform experiments at very low temperatures, well below 1K (mK temperature). The aim is to investigate the microwave properties of superconducting materials that can be used in quantum computers. In particular, granular or highly disordered superconductors with great kinetic inductance are of interest, whose properties can be specifically optimised for the respective application. Superconducting quantum computers are operated at such low temperatures and at microwave frequencies. Therefore, the requested 3He-4He demixing cryostat should enable application-oriented experiments with which such superconducting materials can be better understood with regard to their microwave properties and optimised for use in quantum computers.
