Delivering on the revolutionary promise of a universal quantum computer will require processors with millions of quantum bits (qubits). In superconducting quantum processors, each qubit is individually addressed with microwave signal lines that connect

We investigate material properties in MoxSi1-x thin films with the goal of optimization for single-photon detection from UV to mid-IR wavelengths. Saturated internal detection efficiency appears to be related to film structure for this material. By

Developing compact, low-dissipation, cryogenic-compatible microwave electronics is essential for scaling up low-temperature quantum computing systems. In this paper, we demonstrate an ultracompact microwave directional forward coupler based on high

Quantum random numbers distinguish themselves from others by their intrinsic unpredictability arising from the principles of quantum mechanics. As such they are extremely useful in many scientific and real-world applications with considerable efforts going

When two spatially separated parties make measurements on an unknown entangled quantum state, what correlations can they achieve? How difficult is it to determine whether a given correlation is a quantum correlation? These questions are central to problems

Epitaxially grown superconductor/dielectric/superconductor trilayers have the potential to form high-performance superconducting quantum devices and may even allow scalable superconducting quantum computing with low-surface-area qubits such as the merged

We present the theoretical model and experimental characterization of a microwave kinetic inductance traveling-wave amplifier (KIT), whose noise performance, measured by a shot noise thermometer, approaches the quantum limit. Biased with a dc current, this

The design, fabrication and characterization of single metal gate layer, metal-oxide- semiconductor (MOS) quantum dot devices robust against dielectric breakdown are presented as prototypes for future diagnostic qubits. These devices were developed as a

Quantum computers with thousands or millions of qubits will require a scalable solution for qubit control and readout electronics. Colocating these electronics at millikelvin temperatures has been proposed and demonstrated, but there exist significant
Open system simulations of quantum transport enable the computational study of true steady states, Floquet states, and the role of temperature, time-dynamics, and fluctuations, among other physical processes. They are rapidly gaining traction, especially

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are an enabling technology for a myriad of quantum-optics experiments that require high-efficiency detection, large count rates, and precise timing resolution. The system detection efficiency (SDE)

Aluminum oxide (AlOx)-based single-electron transistors (SETs) fabricated in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers using in situ plasma oxidation show excellent stabilities over more than a week, enabling applications as tunnel barriers, capacitor dielectrics
Superconducting qubits, though promising for both near-term problem-solving as well as the development of large-scale quantum computing systems, are limited in performance largely by materials-induced decoherence channels which are maximized at millikelvin
We develop a framework for certifying randomness from Bell-test trials based on directly estimating the probability of the measurement outcomes with adaptive test supermartingales. The number of trials need not be predetermined, and one can stop performing

Epitaxial Al/GaAs/Al structures having controlled thickness of high-quality GaAs and pristine interfaces have been fabricated using a wafer-bonding technique. III-V semiconductor/Al structures are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on III-V semiconductor
