TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Noble-Ice-Modulated Superconducting Circuit

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is seeking industry partners to commercialize its noble-ice-modulated superconducting circuit technology. This technology offers a passive, cryogenic, loss-free post-fabrication tuning method for superconducting resonators and qubits, which can correct frequency scatter without compromising coherence or scaling economics. The advantages of this technology include kHz-level resolution, zero added loss, simplicity, and post-cooldown adjustability. Potential applications span the full cryogenic-electronics landscape, including superconducting quantum-processor makers, commercial wafer foundries, and cryogenic-sensor manufacturers. • The technology has a high potential for commercialization and can provide a competitive edge in the marketplace. • The laboratory is seeking partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. • The partnership will involve the transfer of technology and intellectual property from LLNL to the partner. • The partner will be responsible for further developing and commercializing the technology. • The laboratory is open to negotiating the terms of the partnership, including the licensing agreement and the scope of work.
