Biography

Jonathan Burnett graduated from Royal Holloway, University of London, in 2010, obtaining an MSci in Physics, and working in his final year on non-linear superconducting resonators. He is now a PhD student at Royal Holloway, working between the Quantum Detection group at NPL and the Quantum Devices group at Royal Holloway.

His PhD is on Decoherence Mechanisms in Quantum Electronic Circuitry and is supervised by Phil Meeson and Grégoire Ithier at Royal Holloway, and Alexander Tzalenchuk and Tobias Lindström at NPL.

Current Interests

As part of this PhD project, Jonathan is investigating sources of dielectric noise. Superconducting resonators provide an ideal test-bed to couple to this noise allowing it to be probed. Techniques common to precision frequency metrology are being used to readout the resonators allowing analysis of noise present.
