Programmable quantum current generator for a renewed metrology of the ampère
Description
In the context of the revision in 2019 of the International System of units (SI), we propose to develop a highly accurate programmable quantum current generator based on an original implementation of Ohm’s law to the quantum voltage and resistance standards, which allows to directly benefitting from the ultimate accuracy and universality of these quantum standards. The experimental developments include the implementation of a graphene-based quantum resistance standard and a cryocooled programmable Josephson voltage standard. We are looking for motivated candidates of any background with skills in physics and instrumentation.
