Precision Measurements of AC Josephson Voltage Standard Operating Margins

April 1, 2005
Author(s)
Charles J. Burroughs, Samuel P. Benz, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Yonuk Chong
Recent advances in circuit design and fabrication of superconducting integrated circuits have enabled us to demonstrate an ac Josephson voltage standard (ACJVS) that generates both ac and dc waveforms up to 242mV peak voltage. Using a Fast Fourier

Sae Woo Nam, Samuel P. Benz, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Charles J. Burroughs, Weston L. Tew, D. R. White, John M. Martinis
We describe our progress towards a high-precision measurement of temperature using Johnson noise. Using a Quantized Voltage Noise Source (QVNS) based on the Josephson effect as a calculable noise source, we have been able to measure the ratio of the

Charles J. Burroughs, Samuel Benz, Paul Dresselhaus
For a number of years, NIST has been developing a Josephson arbitrary waveform synthesizer as an ac Josephson Voltage Standard (ACJVS). The effort has primarily focused on increasing the output voltage to practical levels. Recent advances in circuit design

Stacked SNS Josephson Junctions for Quantum Voltage Applications

July 11, 2003
Author(s)
Paul Dresselhaus, Yonuk Chong, Samuel Benz
NIST is using SNS Josephson junctions as the basis of quantum voltage metrology. Planar junction technology limits the voltage and bandwidth of these systems due to parasitic inductances and the transit time of waveforms through the transmission line. By

4K Cryocooler Implementation of a DC Programmable Voltage Standard

June 1, 2003

Charles J. Burroughs, Robert J. Webber, Paul Dresselhaus, Samuel Benz
NIST and Hypres, Inc. have been collaborating to develop a 1 Volt DC programmable Josephson voltage standard (PJVS) that operates on a closed-cycle refrigerator. The goal of this work is to construct a platform that will allow the chip to work at 4 K

Stacked SNS Josephson Junction Arrays for Quantum Voltage Standards

June 1, 2003
Author(s)
Paul Dresselhaus, Yonuk Chong, J. Plantenberg, Samuel Benz
NIST is using and developing superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) Josephson arrays for both programmable DC and AC voltage standards. Increasing the output voltage is difficult because the output voltage per junction is small; hence series
