Suppression of low-frequency charge noise in superconducting resonators by surface spin desorption.

ABSTRACT: Noise and decoherence due to spurious two-level systems located at material interfaces are long-standing issues for solid-state quantum devices. Efforts to mitigate the effects of two-level systems have been hampered by a lack of knowledge about their chemical and physical nature. Here, by combining dielectric loss, frequency noise and on-chip electron spin resonance measurements in superconducting resonators, we demonstrate that desorption of surface spins is accompanied by an almost tenfold reduction in the charge-induced frequency noise in the resonators. These measurements provide experimental evidence that simultaneously reveals the chemical signatures of adsorbed magnetic moments and highlights their role in generating charge noise in solid-state quantum devices.

Suspending effect on low-frequency charge noise in graphene quantum dot.

Project description:Charge noise is critical in the performance of gate-controlled quantum dots (QDs). Such information is not yet available for QDs made out of the new material graphene, where both substrate and edge states are known to have important effects. Here we show the 1/f noise for a microscopic graphene QD is substantially larger than that for a macroscopic graphene field-effect transistor (FET), increasing linearly with temperature. To understand its origin, we suspended the graphene QD above the substrate. In contrast to large area graphene FETs, we find that a suspended graphene QD has an almost-identical noise level as an unsuspended one. Tracking noise levels around the Coulomb blockade peak as a function of gate voltage yields potential fluctuations of order 1??eV, almost one order larger than in GaAs/GaAlAs QDs. Edge states and surface impurities rather than substrate-induced disorders, appear to dominate the 1/f noise, thus affecting the coherency of graphene nano-devices.

Frequency stabilization and noise-induced spectral narrowing in resonators with zero dispersion.

Project description:Mechanical resonators are widely used as precision clocks and sensitive detectors that rely on the stability of their eigenfrequencies. The phase noise is determined by different factors including thermal noise, frequency noise of the resonator and noise in the feedback circuitry. Increasing the vibration amplitude can mitigate some of these effects but the improvements are limited by nonlinearities that are particularly strong for miniaturized micro- and nano-mechanical systems. Here we design a micromechanical resonator with non-monotonic dependence of the eigenfrequency on energy. Near the extremum, where the dispersion of the eigenfrequency is zero, the system regains certain characteristics of a linear resonator, albeit at large amplitudes. The spectral peak undergoes narrowing when the noise intensity is increased. With the resonator serving as the frequency-selecting element in a feedback loop, the phase noise at the extremum amplitude is?~3 times smaller than the minimal noise in the conventional nonlinear regime.

Chasing the thermodynamical noise limit in whispering-gallery-mode resonators for ultrastable laser frequency stabilization.

Project description:Ultrastable high-spectral-purity lasers have served as the cornerstone behind optical atomic clocks, quantum measurements, precision optical microwave generation, high-resolution optical spectroscopy, and sensing. Hertz-level lasers stabilized to high-finesse Fabry-Pérot cavities are typically used for these studies, which are large and fragile and remain laboratory instruments. There is a clear demand for rugged miniaturized lasers with stabilities comparable to those of bulk lasers. Over the past decade, ultrahigh-Q optical whispering-gallery-mode resonators have served as a platform for low-noise microlasers but have not yet reached the stabilities defined by their fundamental noise. Here, we show the noise characteristics of whispering-gallery-mode resonators and demonstrate a resonator-stabilized laser at this limit by compensating the intrinsic thermal expansion, allowing a sub-25 Hz linewidth and a 32 Hz Allan deviation. We also reveal the environmental sensitivities of the resonator at the thermodynamical noise limit and long-term frequency drifts governed by random-walk-noise statistics.High-quality optical resonators have the potential to provide a miniaturized frequency reference for metrology and sensing but they often lack stability. Here, Lim et al. experimentally characterize the stability of whispering-gallery resonators at their fundamental noise limits.

Electrical Low-Frequency 1/fγ Noise Due to Surface Diffusion of Scatterers on an Ultra-low-Noise Graphene Platform.

Project description:Low-frequency 1/f γ noise is ubiquitous, even in high-end electronic devices. Recently, it was found that adsorbed O2 molecules provide the dominant contribution to flux noise in superconducting quantum interference devices. To clarify the basic principles of such adsorbate noise, we have investigated low-frequency noise, while the mobility of surface adsorbates is varied by temperature. We measured low-frequency current noise in suspended monolayer graphene Corbino samples under the influence of adsorbed Ne atoms. Owing to the extremely small intrinsic noise of suspended graphene, we could resolve a combination of 1/f γ and Lorentzian noise induced by the presence of Ne. We find that the 1/f γ noise is caused by surface diffusion of Ne atoms and by temporary formation of few-Ne-atom clusters. Our results support the idea that clustering dynamics of defects is relevant for understanding of 1/f noise in metallic systems.

Suppression of shot noise in a spin-orbit coupled quantum dot.

Project description:We study theoretically the transport properties of electrons in a quantum dot system with spin-orbit coupling. By using the quantum master equation approach, the shot noise and skewness of the transport electrons are calculated. We obtain super-Poisson noise behaviour by investigating the full counting statistics of the transport system. We discover super-Poisson behaviour is more obvious with the spin polarization increasing. More importantly, we discover the suppression of shot noise induced by spin-orbit coupling. The value of shot noise is gradually decreasing when spin-orbit coupling strength increases.

Superconducting spin reorientation in spin-triplet multiple superconducting phases of UTe2.

Project description:Superconducting (SC) state has spin and orbital degrees of freedom, and spin-triplet superconductivity shows multiple SC phases because of the presence of these degrees of freedom. However, the observation of spin-direction rotation occurring inside the SC state (SC spin rotation) has hardly been reported. Uranium ditelluride, a recently found topological superconductor, exhibits various SC phases under pressure: SC state at ambient pressure (SC1), high-temperature SC state above 0.5 gigapascal (SC2), and low-temperature SC state above 0.5 gigapascal (SC3). We performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ac susceptibility measurements on a single-crystal uranium ditelluride. The b axis spin susceptibility remains unchanged in SC2, unlike in SC1, and decreases below the SC2-SC3 transition with spin modulation. These unique properties in SC3 arise from the coexistence of two SC order parameters. Our NMR results confirm spin-triplet superconductivity with SC spin parallel to b axis in SC2 and unveil the remaining of spin degrees of freedom in SC uranium ditelluride.

Low motional impedance distributed Lame mode resonators for high frequency timing applications.

Project description:This paper presents a novel high-Q silicon distributed Lamé mode resonator (DLR) for VHF timing reference applications. The DLR employs the nature of shear wave propagation to enable a cascade of small square Lamé modes in beam or frame configurations with increased transduction area. Combined with high efficiency nano-gap capacitive transduction, it enables low motional impedances while scaling the frequency to VHF range. The DLR designs are robust against common process variations and demonstrate high manufacturability across different silicon substrates and process specifications. Fabricated DLRs in beam and frame configurations demonstrate high performance scalability with high Q-factors ranging from 50 to 250 k, motional impedances <1 kΩ, and high-temperature frequency turnover points >90 °C in the VHF range, and are fabricated using a wafer-level-packaged HARPSS process. Packaged devices show excellent robustness against temperature cycling, device thinning, and aging effects, which makes them a great candidate for stable high frequency references in size-sensitive and power-sensitive 5 G and other IoT applications.

A Non-Perturbative, Low-Noise Surface Coating for Sensitive Force-Gradient Detection of Electron Spin Resonance in Thin Films.

Project description:The sensitivity of magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is limited by surface noise. Coating a thin-film polymer sample with metal has been shown to decrease, by orders of magnitude, sample-related force noise and frequency noise in MRFM experiments. Using both MRFM and inductively detected measurements of electron-spin resonance, we show that thermally evaporating a 12 nm gold layer on a 40 nm nitroxide-doped polystyrene film inactivates the nitroxide spin labels to a depth of 20 nm, making single-spin measurements difficult or impossible. We introduce a "laminated sample" protocol in which the gold layer is first evaporated on a sacrificial polymer. The sample is deposited on the room-temperature gold layer, removed using solvent lift-off, and placed manually on a coplanar waveguide. Electron spin resonance (ESR) of such a laminated sample was detected via MRFM at cryogenic temperatures using a high-compliance cantilever with an integrated 100-nm-scale cobalt tip. A 20-fold increase of spin signal was observed relative to a thin-film sample prepared instead with an evaporated metal coating. The observed signal is still somewhat smaller than expected, and we discuss possible remaining sources of signal loss.

Multipole Modes Excitation of uncoupled dark Plasmons Resonators based on Frequency Selective Surface at X-band Frequency Regime.

Project description:In this report, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrates that multipole modes could be excited effectively in dark plasmonic resonators without introducing any other bright resonators at microwave range based on a two-dimensional frequency selective surface (FSS) structure. These excited multipole resonances are closely related to the coupling strength between adjacent S-LSPs resonators (the periodicity of the FSS). The modes splitting effects and resonance frequencies of the excited multipole modes are regulated by changing the numbers of grooves and inner disk radius, both of which play significant roles in the excitation of the dark S-LSPs disk resonator at normal incidence. Moreover, the multipole resonances characteristics of dark S-LSPs resonators in the case of oblique incidence are also presented. Observation of such multipole resonances in dark S-LSPs without introducing extra bright resonance at normal/oblique incidence would find more potential applications in microwave and terahertz based sensors, plasmonic resonance devices and metamaterial devices.

Hybrid quantum systems with high-T[Formula: see text] superconducting resonators.

Project description:Superconducting microwave resonators are crucial elements of microwave circuits, offering a wide range of potential applications in modern science and technology. While conventional low-T[Formula: see text] superconductors are mainly employed, high-T[Formula: see text] cuprates could offer enhanced temperature and magnetic field operating ranges. Here, we report the realization of [Formula: see text] superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators, and demonstrate a continuous evolution from a lossy undercoupled regime, to a lossless overcoupled regime by adjusting the device geometry, in good agreement with circuit model theory. A high-quality factor resonator was then used to perform electron spin resonance measurements on a molecular spin ensemble across a temperature range spanning two decades. We observe spin-cavity hybridization indicating coherent coupling between the microwave field and the spins in a highly cooperative regime. The temperature dependence of the Rabi splitting and the spin relaxation time point toward an antiferromagnetic coupling of the spins below 2 K. Our findings indicate that high-Tc superconducting resonators hold great promise for the development of functional circuits. Additionally, they suggest novel approaches for achieving hybrid quantum systems based on high-T[Formula: see text] superconductors and for conducting electron spin resonance measurements over a wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures.
