Phonon-Trapping-Enhanced Energy Resolution in Superconducting Single-Photon Detectors

Pieter J. de Visser, Steven A.H. de Rooij, Vignesh Murugesan, David J. Thoen, and Jochem J.A. Baselmans

Phys. Rev. Applied 16, 034051 (2021) - Published 30 September, 2021

A pixel that can count individual photons and resolve each photon’s color has been a dream for astronomers and biophysicists. Dream no longer! The authors realize such detectors using superconducting microwave resonators. The team experimentally shows that spectral resolving power is strongly limited by photon energy escaping through phonon losses to the bath, early in the detection process. With this insight, they use a thin membrane to demonstrate resolving power improved by a factor of 2.5, paving the way to reaching the fundamental limit in the future.

Quantum magnonics, an emerging field in artificial quantum systems, considers the interactions of electromagnetic waves (photons) with magnetic oscillations (magnons). Here the fundamentally weak coupling between quasiparticles challenges the development of on-chip devices. This study demonstrates the on-chip realization of ultrastrong photon-magnon coupling, using superconducting structures with reduced photon phase velocity. Attaining a coupling ratio relatively close to unity, it is found that the studied structure obeys the Hopfield interaction model, with plasmonic contribution to the energy of the magnon-polariton system.

Hole spin qubits are appealing for quantum information processing, because they can be coherently manipulated with radio-frequency electric fields. The underlying physical mechanism relies on spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in the semiconductor’s valence band, and operating a hole spin qubit requires accurate knowledge of SOC-dependent parameters that can vary from one qubit to another. To this end, the authors employ a two-tone-spectroscopy technique that exploits the same tools used for qubit control and readout: microwave gate-voltage excitation and dispersive gate reflectometry. Their approach will facilitate accurate quantum control of hole spin qubits in scaled semiconductor structures.

Nanoscale Near-Field Steering of Magnetic Vortices

Phys. Rev. Applied 16, 034032 (2021) - Published 17 September, 2021

Magneto-optical approaches are promising for fast, precise handling of magnetic data. This study presents a scheme for precise spatiotemporal control of magnetic vortices or skyrmions via the magnetoelectric interaction, using the electric near fields around a biased nanoscale scanning tip. By balancing the topological Lorentz force with an attractive force due to the off-center tip above, magnetic textures can be trapped, accelerated, or stopped without undesirable effects such as transverse Hall drift. The method is applicable to a wide class of noncollinear magnetic structures, and points to the potential of functionalizing near fields for information storage and processing.

Jiaxin Chen, Lishuan Wang, Wei Wu, Wei Cai, Huasong Liu, Mengxin Ren, and Jingjun Xu

Phys. Rev. Applied 16, L031001 (2021) - Published 29 September, 2021

Obtaining strong circular dichroism (CD) from planar chiral metasurfaces has been hotly pursued, to realize ultracompact circular polarizers for applications in photography, spectroscopy, and biological sensing. Many attempts have failed, due to insufficient thickness of the structures. Here the authors present efficient enhancement of the CD response from a metasurface by utilizing its topological edge state. One can foresee a direct impact of this result on engineering solutions for the applications mentioned above.
