Superconducting Parallel-Plate Resonators for the Detection of Single Electron Spins

André Pscherer, Jannes Liersch, Patrick Abgrall +7

We introduce a multilayer superconducting microwave resonator with sub-Ohm impedance optimized for high coupling strength to single electron spins. The design minimizes the magneti…

Low two-level-system noise in hydrogenated amorphous silicon

Fabien Defrance, Andrew D. Beyer, Jordan Wheeler +2

At sub-Kelvin temperatures, two-level systems (TLS) present in amorphous dielectrics source a permittivity noise, degrading the performance of a wide range of devices using superco…

Hierarchical phased-array antennas coupled to Al KIDs: a scalable architecture for multi-band mm/submm focal planes

Jean-Marc Martin, Junhan Kim, Fabien Defrance +5

We present the optical characterization of two-scale hierarchical phased-array antenna kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) for millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths. Our KIDs have a…
