Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed

The Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed (BCQT) is a non-profit, pre-competitive research facility for implementing, developing and openly disseminating standard protocols to reproducibly measure the quality factor and performance characteristics of superconducting microwave resonators used in quantum computing circuits. The BCQT serves as a resource to academic and industry quantum research groups that wish to characterize their superconducting microwave resonators in a well-characterized cryogenic environment using traceable, open-source methods developed in broad consultation with companies, universities, and NIST.

Residing in the McRae Lab in CU Boulder's Engineering Center, the Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed is a joint initiative of NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder.
