Supergeleidende Elektronica voor Quantumtechnologieën (SELEQT)
Abstract
SELEQT — Superconducting Electronics for Quantum Technology — is a service platform dedicated to advanced simulation, design, and interpretation of superconducting electronic circuits for quantum technologies. The platform provides Ginzburg–Landau-based simulation tools for modeling quantum superconducting circuits under realistic operating conditions, including current- and voltage-biased regimes, external magnetic fields, three-dimensional device layouts, multilayer architectures, and complex integrated-circuit geometries. SELEQT will support a flexible software ecosystem consisting of licensed simulation codes optimized for different scientific objectives, device scales, and computer architectures. Users will be able to run simulations on dedicated SELEQT computing clusters or deploy selected codes on their own infrastructure, depending on licensing and performance requirements. The platform will also include integration modules for superconducting integrated circuits, enabling the analysis of device-level behavior within larger circuit and system environments. Beyond software access, SELEQT will offer expert consulting services tailored to both academic and industrial users. These services will include assistance with adding new physical or numerical modules to existing codes, adapting simulations to specific device concepts, interpreting scientific results, and providing complete problem-solving workflows on demand. By combining high-fidelity superconducting circuit simulation, scalable computing resources, and expert scientific support, SELEQT aims to accelerate the development of next-generation superconducting electronics and quantum technology platforms.Researcher(s)

2.5-dimensional superconducting heterostructures.
Abstract
Ever since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in late 1980's, cuprate superconductors have attracted immense attention in the literature. One of such materials, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (BSCCO) was shown to sustain its superconducting state down to its 2D limit of a single monolayer, which then can be used to design functional 2.5-dimensional heterostructures. For example, having d-wave pairing symmetry, a twisted bilayer of BSCCO monolayers displays topological superconductivity with broken time reversal symmetry for some particular values of the twist angle, which holds promise for the construction of novel superconducting devices for applications in advanced communication systems and quantum computing. Further way from the 2D limit, BSCCO heterostructures can be constructed to exhibit a superconducting diode effect up to a high critical temperature, enabling their use in other fundamental superconducting electronics. The overarching theme of this joint doctorate is to provide multiscale modeling of selected superconducting electronic devices, where latter described BSCCO systems under the influence of applied magnetic field and electrical current are the main selected example for the 6-month research stay of the student in Antwerp. Owing to the recently established collaboration in China and India, we gained access to the experimental data on 2.5D BSCCO systems that will benefit from numerically tailored properties in this project, geared towards the optimal design of selected electronic devices.Researcher(s)
