Emerging devices such as parametric amplifiers can provide new capabilities for cryogenic sensor systems. The Quantum Sensors Group is studying a range of new devices using the powerful prototyping capability of the Boulder Microfabrication Facility.
The Novel Devices Project works at the edge of what is known and not known regarding material properties and superconducting device performance. Our recent research has focused on the development of novel devices from nitride superconductors such as TiN and NbTiN for detector and quantum information applications.
