Kinetic inductance current sensor for visible to near-infrared wavelength transition-edge sensor readout
Paul Szypryt, Douglas A. Bennett, Ian Fogarty Florang +12
Single-photon detectors based on the superconducting transition-edge sensor are used in a number of visible to near-infrared applications, particularly for photon-number-resolving…
Spectroscopic measurements and models of energy deposition in the substrate of quantum circuits by natural ionizing radiation
Joseph W. Fowler, Paul Szypryt, Raymond Bunker +16
Naturally occurring background radiation is a source of correlated decoherence events in superconducting qubits that will challenge error-correction schemes. To characterize the ra…
The Simons Observatory: Production-level Fabrication of the Mid- and Ultra-High-Frequency Wafers
Shannon M. Duff, Jason Austermann, James A. Beall +11
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background instrumentation suite in the Atacama Desert of Chile. More than 65,000 polarization-sensitive transition-edge sensor (T…
Characterization of NbTiN films with thicknesses below 20 nm for low power kinetic inductance amplifiers
A. Giachero, M. R. Vissers, J. D. Wheeler +6
A quantum-limited amplification chain is a fundamental advantage for any application that may benefit from the detection of very faint signals. Reading out arrays of superconductin…
The BLAST Observatory: A Sensitivity Study for Far-IR Balloon-borne Polarimeters
The BLAST Observatory Collaboration, Gabriele Coppi, Simon Dicker +21
Sensitive wide-field observations of polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains will allow astronomers to address key outstanding questions about the life cycle of ma…
