CMC Microsystems is joining forces with the Institute for Quantum Computing/University of Waterloo, Institut quantique, University of Victoria, and University of British Columbia to deliver the 5th edition of the “Build your Own Superconducting Quantum Device Workshop”. The workshop will provide a training experience for participants from industry, as well as Canadian and foreign universities, with relevant science or engineering backgrounds.

The workshop will teach participants how to design, simulate, fabricate, and test their superconducting circuits. It will cover the fundamentals of superconductors and Josephson junctions, and how to design circuits such as resonators and qubits. Trainees will brainstorm device ideas with leading Canadian universities and industry researchers. They will use CMC-provided CAD tools to design, simulate, and submit devices for fabrication. Most trainees will test their chips at their home institution.
