Joe Kitzman & Niyaz Beysengulov won two of the best poster prizes at the 2021 International Conference for Quantum Fluids and Solids (QFS2021). Joe's poster was on the topic of developing and testing novel infrared shielding materials for superconducting qubit systems, while Niyaz's poster described the role of helium surface fluctuations on the coherence of electron qubits trapped above the helium surface. Camryn Undershute, who recently started as a graduate student at MSU, also won a best poster prize for her undergraduate research at the University of Alberta on low-dimensionally confined superfluid helium.
