Precise 2D electric field density simulations for superconducting quantum devices
Zydrunas Gimbutas, Wei-Ren Syong, Nhi Nguyen +5
Dielectric loss due to two-level systems is a limiting factor for superconducting qubit relaxation times. These losses arise mostly from nanometer-scale interfacial defect regions…
Design of a mission to measure the shape and substructure of the 511 keV gamma-ray line from the center of the Milky Way
Kun Hu, Matthew Fritts, Daniel Becker +23
The 511 keV electron-positron annihilation feature near the galactic center has been detected for more than half a century, yet its origin remains a mystery. In this paper, we desc…
Imaging the Superconducting Proximity Effect in S-S'-S Transition Edge Sensors
Austin R. Kaczmarek, Samantha Walker, Jason Austermann +11
Proximity effects at superconducting interfaces, between different superconductors (S-S') or between superconductors and normal metals (S-N), are fundamental to the performance of…
Impact of embedded Ho on the performance of the transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters of the HOLMES experiment
Douglas Bennett, Matteo Borghesi, Pietro Campana +19
We present a detailed investigation of the performance of transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters with Ho atoms embedded by ion implantation, as part of the HOLMES e…
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…
