Background

The Wallenberg center for quantum technology at Chalmers University of Technology is aiming to build a quantum computer. To build a quantum computer there is a high demand on high quality cryogenic microwave components, low losses and low noise levels.

In addition, several research groups from the Space Earth and environment department, and especially its Onsala division are working in the field of radio-astronomy instrumentation produce extensive research and state-of-the-art receivers operated at various observatories around the world for both radioastronomy and geodesy. This research field at Chalmers involves about ~80 researchers and two national facilities, with excellent track record for the last 50 years. Most of the receivers typically operates at 4 K and possibly includes amplifiers up to 12 GHz, whose performance are essential for the whole receiver.
