Hi, I’m Cameron Kopas, an experimental physicist and materials scientist working to improve the performance of superoncudting qubits. My research focus is to study the origins of and mitigations for two-level sytems defects, and other performance limitations in transmon devices, and identify how to fabricate and measure these at scale. I completed my PhD at Arizona State University in 2020, where I studied novel and low-loss dielectrics, defects, and two-level-system losses in microwave resonators and superconducting circuits for quantum computing.
Outside of a lab, you’ll find me doing film photography, exploration, mapping, and conservation projects in caves, on long-distance bicycle or backpacking trips, fermenting whatever I can get my hands on, and looking for new movies and music. I might also be talking about other peoples’ science on my podcast. My partner Sasha is a computer programmer with little public web presence.
This site has a combination of my academic and public work, you can find:
- A partial CV (please e-mail me for a full up-to-date version)
- A list of available Publications from my graduate school days. Google Scholar is much more complete.
- If you don’t have access to any of my co-authored papers, get in touch and I can send them to you
- Laboratory Resources, including instrument interface programs, tutorial videos, and instrument procedures
- A Portfolio of lab instruments and systems that I have managed.
