Improved Flexible Coaxial Ribbon Cable for High-Density Superconducting Arrays
Jennifer Pearl Smith, Benjamin A. Mazin, Alirio Boaventura +2
Superconducting arrays often require specialized, high-density cryogenic cabling capable of transporting electrical signals across temperature stages with minimal loss, crosstalk,…
X-ray photon detection using superconducting resonators in thermal quasi-equilibrium
Orlando Quaranta, Thomas Cecil, Lisa Gades +2
Superconducting resonators have to date been used for photon detection in a non-equilibrium manner. In this paper, we demonstrate that such devices can also be used in a thermal qu…
A titanium-nitride near-infrared kinetic inductance photon-counting detector and its anomalous electrodynamics
J. Gao, M. R. Visser, M. O. Sandberg +10
We demonstrate single-photon counting at 1550 nm with titanium-nitride (TiN) microwave kinetic inductance detectors. Energy resolution of 0.4 eV and arrival-time resolution of 1.2…
Tungsten silicide films for microwave kinetic inductance detectors
Thomas Cecil, Antonino Miceli, Orlando Quaranta +4
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) provide highly multiplexed arrays of detectors that can be configured to operate from the sub-millimeter to the X-ray regime. We have…
Titanium Nitride Films for Ultrasensitive Microresonator Detectors
Henry G. Leduc, Bruce Bumble, Peter K. Day +10
Titanium nitride (TiNx) films are ideal for use in superconducting microresonator detectors because: a) the critical temperature varies with composition (0 < Tc < 5 K); b) the norm…
Thin film dielectric microstrip kinetic inductance detectors
B. A. Mazin, D. Sank, S. McHugh +6
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs, are a type of low temperature detector that exhibit intrinsic frequency domain multiplexing at microwave frequencies. We present t…
A semi-empirical model for two-level system noise in superconducting microresonators
Jiansong Gao, Miguel Daal, John M. Martinis +6
We present measurements of the low--temperature excess frequency noise of four niobium superconducting coplanar waveguide microresonators, with center strip widths ranging fr…
Experimental evidence for a surface distribution of two-level systems in superconducting lithographed microwave resonators
Jiansong Gao, Miguel Daal, Peter Day +6
We present measurements of the temperature-dependent frequency shift of five niobium superconducting coplanar waveguide microresonators with center strip widths ranging from 3 m…
Temperature Dependence of the Frequency and Noise of Superconducting Coplanar Waveguide Resonators
Shwetank Kumar, Jiansong Gao, Jonas Zmuidzinas +3
We present measurements of the temperature and power dependence of the resonance frequency and frequency noise of superconducting niobium thin-film coplanar waveguide resonators, c…
A Position Sensitive X-ray Spectrophotometer using Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Benjamin A. Mazin, Megan E. Eckart, Bruce Bumble +4
The surface impedance of a superconductor changes when energy is absorbed and Cooper pairs are broken to produce single electron (quasiparticle) excitations. This change may be sen…
Noise Properties of Superconducting Coplanar Waveguide Microwave Resonators
Jiansong Gao, Benjamin A. Mazin, Peter K. Day +2
We have measured noise in thin-film superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators. This noise appears entirely as phase noise, equivalent to a jitter of the resonance frequency. In…
