Operation of Unshielded Kinetic-Inductance Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifiers in Multi-Tesla Fields
Christian Boutan, Erik Lentz, Corwin Shiu +12
Cryogenic parametric amplifiers are used to amplify radio-frequency signals for a range of applications in basic and applied science. Both Josephson Parametric Amplifiers and Josep…
Developing Centimeter-scale-cavity Arrays for Axion Dark Matter Detection in the 100 Micro-electron-volt Range
Erik W. Lentz, Christian R. Boutan, Matthew S. Taubman +1
The cavity haloscope technique has been the most successful approach to date in searching for axion dark matter, owing to a confluence of factors at the GHz scale including the mac…
Signatures from Non-classical Features of Axion Dark Matter in Cavity Haloscopes
Erik W. Lentz
I present in this article how non-classical features in the local axion dark matter state may imprint on cavity haloscopes. Example signatures from squeezed and pair-entangled DM s…
STQS: A Unified System Architecture for Spatial Temporal Quantum Sensing
Anastashia Jebraeilli, Chenxu Liu, Keyi Yin +3
Quantum sensing (QS) harnesses quantum phenomena to measure physical observables with extraordinary precision, sensitivity, and resolution. Despite significant advancements in quan…
Motivating Emissions from Positive Energy Warp Bubbles
Erik W. Lentz, Ryan C. Felton
Recent research has proposed that advanced propulsion mechanisms such as warp drives are more physically feasible than previously thought, using positive energy sources potentially…
