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…

Improved microwave SQUID multiplexer readout using a kinetic-inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifier

M. Malnou, J. A. B. Mates, M. R. Vissers +5

We report on the use of a kinetic-inductance traveling-wave parametric amplifier (KITWPA) as the first amplifier in the readout chain of a microwave superconducting quantum interfe…

New Results from HAYSTAC's Phase II Operation with a Squeezed State Receiver

HAYSTAC Collaboration, M. J. Jewell, A. F. Leder +26

A search for dark matter axions with masses has been performed using the HAYSTAC experiment's squeezed state receiver to achieve sub-quantum limited noise. This rep…

Bandwidth and visibility improvement in detection of a weak signal using mode entanglement and swapping

Yue Jiang, Elizabeth P. Ruddy, Kyle O. Quinlan +3

Quantum fluctuations constitute the primary noise barrier limiting cavity-based axion dark matter searches. In an experiment designed to mimic a real axion search, we employ a quan…

Performance of a Kinetic-Inductance Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier at 4 Kelvin: Toward an Alternative to Semiconductor Amplifiers

M. Malnou, J. Aumentado, M. R. Vissers +4

Most microwave readout architectures in quantum computing or sensing rely on a semiconductor amplifier at 4 K, typically a high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT). Despite its rem…

A quantum-enhanced search for dark matter axions

K. M. Backes, D. A. Palken, S. Al Kenany +21

In dark matter axion searches, quantum uncertainty manifests as a fundamental noise source, limiting the measurement of the quadrature observables used for detection. We use vacuum…
