The development of superconducting quantum circuits has drawn attention to the study of microscopic two-level systems (TLS), as they are a source of decoherence and instability of qubits. Individual TLS can be manipulated using microwave signals, but their specific locations in quantum circuits remain largely unclear. We intend to manipulate the TLS using the electric field of an atomic force microscope tip [1]. This approach should allow us to gain insights into the microscopic nature of the TLS. We will present the assembled atomic force microscope setup and show characterisation data of quantum circuits measured at millikelvin temperatures.
