Master Thesis: A full cryogenic and thermal environment simulation tool for superconducting quantum computers

Are you a Master's student in physics, engineering, or a related field with a passion for turning theory into reality? SCALINQ

offers a unique opportunity to conduct your thesis work at the cutting edge of quantum technology.

We believe that the most impactful work comes from a combination of academic curiosity and industrial application. That's why we

invite talented students to join our team, not just for a project, but for a chance to contribute to the core of our mission.

• Solve Real Challenges: Work on problems that are critical to making quantum computers scalable and powerful. Your research will

have a direct application

• A Pathway to a Career: A successful thesis project could be a stepping stone to a full-time role with us. We invest in talent

for the long term

In this project, you will build a simulation tool to simulate the cryogenic environment in a superconductor-based quantum computer

set-up. Standard commercial simulators rarely handle species decoupling alongside RF noise propagation natively out of the box,

meaning custom solver development is required.

The work will consist of a literature study where suitable simulation tools are selected together with what key parameters to

simulate.

The work also consists of recognizing suitable parameters to simulate and ensure the selected simulation tool is befitting for the

corresponding models. The student must investigate the literature to decide which cryogenic mechanisms matter most and map those

physical parameters into the simulation framework.

• Such parameters can be conducted and radiated heat, heat generation from electrical losses, special thermal effects at

cryogenic environments such as Kapitza resistance and sheet conductivity. The tool should account for Johnson-Nyquist noise

created by hot bodies and the distribution of such thermal noise. It should also account for frequency selective attenuation

based on for example S-parameters of electrical devices. In addition, de-coupling of different temperatures of different

species (electron temperature, phonon temperature, photon temperature) should be taken into account.
