Abstract: We have performed a quantum mechanical analysis of travelling-wave parametric amplifiers (TWPAs) in order to investigate five experimental phenomena related to their operations, namely the effect of impedance mismatch...

Abstract: We investigated the use of dielectric layers produced by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as an approach to strain mitigation in composite silicon/superconductor devices operating at cryogenic temperatures. We show that...

In kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) and other similar applications of superconducting microresonators, both the large and small-signal behaviour of the device may be affected by electrothermal feedback. Microwave power...
Transition-edge sensors (TESs) are capable of highly accurate single particle
energy measurement. TESs have been used for a wide range of photon detection
applications, particularly in astronomy, but very little consideration...
The bilayers of transition edge sensors (TESs) are often modified with additional normal-metal features such as bars or dots. Previous device measurements suggest that these features improve performance, reducing electrical...

The underlying nonlinear mechanisms behind the operation of travelling-wave
parametric amplifiers (TWPAs) are important in determining their performance in
terms of added noise, maximum gain, and bandwidth. We describe a method...

We present evidence for Cp* being a sacrificial placeholder ligand in the [Cp*IrIII(chelate)X] series of homogeneous oxidation catalysts. UV-vis and 1H-NMR profiles as well as MALDI-MS data show a rapid and irreversible loss of...
Over the years, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 have promoted and prospered user-generated content, ease of use, interoperability, and virtual communities. Indeed, a growing number of online platforms and virtual communities contribute to...
