Research Title: Development of an Analytical Quantum Full-Wave Solution of a Transmon Qubit in a 3D Microwave Cavity

Research description: The engineering of superconducting circuits is one of the most promising ways to build revolutionary quantum technologies, like quantum computers. As the complexity of these devices rapidly increases, the use of highly-accurate numerical modeling methods is becoming invaluable in their design. However, these numerical modeling methods are in their infancy, and are difficult to improve on because there are no widely-available and reliable validation methods to verify their accuracy. This research will address this gap by developing an accurate analytical solution of a realistic superconducting circuit device that can be compared to in order to validate the performance of future modeling methods. This will provide a vital missing piece to this emerging field, and will also guide the development of new accurate and efficient modeling methods.
