A broadband single microwave-photon detector insensitive to the thermal noise
Y. Q. Chai, M. Y. Wang, S. N. Wang +2
Thermal noise is one of the physical obstacles that constrain the achievable detection sensitivities of various detectors. Indeed, as we showed in a recent paper (PRB 111, 024501 (…

Measuring weak microwave signals via current-biased Josephson Junctions II: Arriving at single-photon detection sensitivity
Y. Q. Chai, M. Y. Wang, S. N. Wang +2
It is well known that the current-biased Josephson junction (CBJJ) can serve as a Josephson threshold detector (JTD) for the sensitive detection of weak microwave signals. Based on…

Approaching energy quantum limit detection of microwave photons with Josephson Junctions
Y. Q. Chai, S. N. Wang, P. H. OuYang +1
Single-photon detection is an energy quantum limit detection (EQLD) of a significantly weak electromagnetic wave. Given the sensitivity of the conventional electromagnetic inductio…
