Measuring a topological transition in an artificial spin 1/2 system

M. D. Schroer, M. H. Kolodrubetz, W. F. Kindel +6

We present measurements of a topological property, the Chern number (), of a closed manifold in the space of two-level system Hamiltonians, where the two-level system…

Photon-noise limited sensitivity in titanium nitride kinetic inductance detectors

Johannes Hubmayr, Jim Beall, Dan Becker +14

We demonstrate photon-noise limited performance at sub-millimeter wavelengths in feedhorn-coupled, microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) made of a TiN/Ti/TiN trilayer supe…

Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors fabricated from an amorphous Mo0.75Ge0.25 thin film

V. B. Verma, A. E. Lita, M. R. Vissers +4

We present the characteristics of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) fabricated from amorphous Mo0.75Ge0.25 thin-films. Fabricated devices show a saturation…
