Assessing the operating characteristics of an ion-milled phonon-mediated quantum parity detector

Brandon J. Sandoval, Andrew D. Beyer, Pierre M. Echternach +4

Phonon sensitive superconducting qubits promise to provide sub-eV energy deposit thresholds, useful for future rare-event experiments looking for interactions from dark matter and…

Development Status of the KIPM Detector Consortium

Dylan J Temples, Zoë J. Smith, Selby Q Dang +21

A Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated Detector is a calorimeter that uses kinetic inductance detectors to read out phonon signals from the device substrate. We have established a co…

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…

Characterization of the low electric field and zero-temperature two-level-system loss in hydrogenated amorphous silicon

Fabien Defrance, Andrew D. Beyer, Shibo Shu +2

Two-level systems (TLS) are an important, if not dominant, source of loss and noise for superconducting resonators such as those used in kinetic inductance detectors and some quant…

Significant noise improvement in a Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated detector by use of a wideband parametric amplifier

Karthik Ramanathan, Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis +9

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next…
