The Quantum Capacitor Detector: A Single Cooper Pair Box Based Readout for Pair Breaking Photo-detectors
P. M. Echternach, M. D. Shaw, J. Bueno +2
We propose a sensitive new detector based on Cooper pair breaking in a superconductor. The quantum capacitor detector (QCD) exploits the extraordinary sensitivity of superconductin…

Quasiparticle Poisoning and Quantum Coherence in a Differential Charge Qubit
J. F. Schneiderman, M. D. Shaw, B. Palmer +2
We demonstrate the operation of a differential single Cooper-pair box, a charge qubit consisting of two aluminum islands, isolated from ground, coupled by a pair of small-area Jose…
