  ECE Seminar: Alexey Bezryadin

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

  10:00 AM L440, Technological Institute

  EVENT DETAILS

  I will discuss our novel design of a transmon superconducting qubit. The best detected relaxation time (T1) was of the order of 50 μs, and the dephasing time (T2) about 40 μs. I will also present our results on other types of superconducting nanowire devices, such as superconducting memory elements and superconducting diodes. I will explain how we use superconducting Meissner currents to control these information-processing devices.

  Professor Alexey Bezryadin earned his Ph.D. in physics from Joseph Fourier University in 1995 and his bachelor’s degree in physics and applied mathematics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1990. His doctoral research focused on nanotechnology and superconductivity. Before joining the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2000, Professor Bezryadin held postdoctoral research positions at Delft University of Technology and at Harvard University from 1997 to 2000. Alexey Bezryadin is a recipient of Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship (2002) and APS Fellow (2014).
