Johnson Noise Thermometry with Superconductive Waveform Synthesizers

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The electronic fluctuations in voltage and current that exist in a normal conductor are a fundamental measure of thermodynamic temperature. Many challenging metrology and electronic design problems must be solved in order to fully exploit Johnson noise as a primary thermometer with high accuracy. Opportunities exist for experimental investigations in Johnson Noise Thermometry (JNT) with advanced quantum-based voltage synthesis techniques. JNT can be implemented as both an absolute method and a temperature scaling technique relati...

Grantor Contact InformationAdvisor: Samuel P. Benz, Phone: 303.497.5258Grantor Emailbenz@boulder.nist.govOther Grantor InformaitonThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
