Gold-plated FormFactor dilution refrigerator chadelier with microwave components and SMA wiring installed.
The Â鶹¹ÙÍø'sÌýMcRae Lab is an experimental research laboratory in the Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering department focused on materials and metrology for superconducting quantum device applications. Active areas of research include:

  • Microwave characterization of materials for superconducting quantum devices (such as qubits, sensors, and parametric amplifiers);
  • Development of novel metrological techniques for coherence measurements at millikelvin temperatures and single photon powers;
  • Investigation of quasiparticles, two-level systems, and other decoherence channels limiting superconducting qubits;
  • Optimization of the dilution refrigerator RF environment by crogenic calibration and low-power characterization of the microwave chain.

The McRae Lab is part of the international , and is closely affiliated with NIST Â鶹¹ÙÍø's Ìýthrough the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Cryogenic Quantum Testbed project.
