Is it still worthwhile to participate in a superconducting CPW resonator research lab today?

I was recently offered an opportunity to participate in a lab that is fabricating Transmon qubits. I am an EE, and I would help them with their CPW superconducting resonators. I am not extremely familiar with quantum computing, but from what I have read, the process that they are using (Niobium CPW transmission line resonators) is now no longer state of the art, and that tantalum cavity resonators have much higher coherence times. Would this still be a good opportunity? That is to say, would this publication have any value in the eyes of anyone working in this field? Thanks. submitted by /u/BarnardWellesley [link] [comments]
