Magnetic Brightening and Nanoscale Imaging of Spin-Polarized Helical Edge Modes
Samuel Haeuser, Richard H. J. Kim, Lin-Lin Wang +9
Efficient sub-10 nm electric transport remains a major challenge for nanoelectronics due to high losses and impedance mismatches in conventional Drude metals. Despite their promise…
Terahertz magneto-nanoscopy of encapsulated monolayer graphene
Richard H. J. Kim, Sunwoong Yang, Taehoon Kim +7
This study investigates the nanoscale conductivity of encapsulated monolayer graphene at temperatures down to 5 K and magnetic fields of up to 1 T. We use the scattering-type scann…
Terahertz-nanoscale visualization of the microscopic spin-charge architecture of colossal magnetoresistive switching
Samuel Haeuser, Randall K. Chan, Richard H. J. Kim +4
Resolving sub-10 nm spin switching and the associated terahertz (THz) electrodynamics during the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) transition is a definitive frontier in reaching th…
Vortex-Controlled Quasiparticle Multiplication and Self-Growth Dynamics in Superconducting Resonators
Joong M. Park, Martin Mootz, Richard H. J. Kim +11
Even in the quantum limit, non-equilibrium quasiparticle (QP) populations induce QP poisoning that irreversibly relaxes the quantum state and significantly degrades the coherence o…
Correlating Superconducting Qubit Performance Losses to Sidewall Near-Field Scattering via Terahertz Nanophotonics
Richard H. J. Kim, Samuel J. Haeuser, Joong-Mok Park +16
Elucidating dielectric losses, structural heterogeneity, and interface imperfections is critical for improving coherence in superconducting qubits. However, most diagnostics rely o…
Identifying Materials-Level Sources of Performance Variation in Superconducting Transmon Qubits
Akshay A. Murthy, Mustafa Bal, Michael J. Bedzyk +46
The Superconducting Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center, a DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Center, has conducted a comprehensive and coordinated study using super…
