The effect of magnetic field on the intrinsic detection efficiency of superconducting single-photon detectors
J. J. Renema, R. J. Rengelink, I. Komen +11
We experimentally investigate the effect of a magnetic field on photon detection in superconducting single-photon detectors. At low fields, the effect of a magnetic field is throug…
Microwave-induced nonequilibrium temperature in a suspended carbon nanotube
H. L. Hortensius, A. Ozturk, P. Zeng +2
Antenna-coupled suspended single carbon nanotubes exposed to 108 GHz microwave radiation are shown to be selectively heated with respect to their metal contacts. This leads to an i…
Critical-Current Reduction in Thin Superconducting Wires Due to Current Crowding
H. L. Hortensius, E. F. C. Driessen, T. M. Klapwijk +2
We demonstrate experimentally that the critical current in superconducting NbTiN wires is dependent on their geometrical shape, due to current-crowding effects. Geometric patterns…
Efficient and robust fiber coupling of superconducting single photon detectors
S. N. Dorenbos, R. W. Heeres, E. F. C Driessen +1
We applied a recently developed fiber coupling technique to superconducting single photon detectors (SSPDs). As the detector area of SSPDs has to be kept as small as possible, coup…
One- and two-photon spectroscopy of a flux qubit coupled to a microscopic defect
A. Lupascu, P. Bertet, E. F. C. Driessen +2
We observed the dynamics of a superconducting flux qubit coupled to an extrinsic quantum system (EQS). The presence of the EQS is revealed by an anticrossing in the spectroscopy of…
