Project Content
Optimization of quantum control of an SnV color center in diamond requires precise alignment with an external magnetic field. In our case, this field is generated by a superconducting 3D vector magnet. It should be optimized to maximize the fidelity of quantum control operations on the SnV.
Tasks for Interns
  • Work with a cryostat in an optical experiment
  • Implement the control and calibration of the superconducting coils
  • Optimize the alignment of the magnetic field 
Academic Level
Advanced undergraduate students (from second year) 
Master's students 
Ph.D. students 
Requirements
  • Senior bachelor's or junior master's student in physics
  • Very good python programming skills
Expected Preparation
  • Acquiring basic knowledge about SnV color centers and standard experimental methods
  • Getting familiar with a python based framework for experimental control
