Abstract: While quantum mechanics has been around for 100 years now, only in the last few decades have we been able to isolate and control individual quantum states in the lab. This has led to a number of exciting fields to emerge including quantum sensing, quantum information processing, and quantum simulation. Experiments in these fields rely on devices that preserve phase information between fragile quantum states. These quantum-coherent devices stand to benefit from a characterization tool capable of evaluating materials under the same conditions used for device operation. I will present our work to build a scanning probe for quantum coherent devices, including how we used the tool to coherently control multiple qubits on a single chip and detect superconductor-normal metal transitions. I will briefly discuss our next experiments on improving superconducting qubit designs and exploring other platforms for quantum information processing.
