Title Quantum-photonic integrated circuits Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proc. IWQO Abbreviated Journal Proc. IWQO
Volume Issue Pages 22-23
Keywords WSSPD, waveguide SSPD, SNSPD, quantum optics, integrated optics, superconducting nanowire single-photon detector
Abstract We show the design, a history of development as well as the most successful and promising approaches for QPICs realization based on hybrid nanophotonic-superconducting devices, where one of the key elements of such a circuit is a waveguide integrated superconducting single-photon detector (WSSPD). The potential of integration with fluorescent molecules is discussed also.

Title Quasi-1-dimensional superconductivity in highly disordered NbN nanowires Type Miscellaneous
Year 2016 Publication arXiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords narrow NbN nanowires, BCS
Abstract The topic of superconductivity in strongly disordered materials has attracted a significant attention. In particular vivid debates are related to the subject of intrinsic spatial inhomogeneity responsible for non-BCS relation between the superconducting gap and the pairing potential. Here we report experimental study of electron transport properties of narrow NbN nanowires with effective cross sections of the order of the debated inhomogeneity scales. We find that conventional models based on phase slip concept provide reasonable fits for the shape of the R(T) transition curve. Temperature dependence of the critical current follows the text-book Ginzburg-Landau prediction for quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel Ic~(1-T/Tc)^3/2. Hence, one may conclude that the intrinsic electronic inhomogeneity either does not exist in our structures, or, if exist, does not affect their resistive state properties.

Title Coherent flux tunneling through NbN nanowires Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B
Volume 88 Issue 22 Pages 220506 (1 to 5)
Keywords NbN nanowires
Abstract We demonstrate evidence of coherent magnetic flux tunneling through superconducting nanowires patterned in a thin highly disordered NbN film. The phenomenon is revealed as a superposition of flux states in a fully metallic superconducting loop with the nanowire acting as an effective tunnel barrier for the magnetic flux, and reproducibly observed in different wires. The flux superposition achieved in the fully metallic NbN rings proves the universality of the phenomenon previously reported for InOx. We perform microwave spectroscopy and study the tunneling amplitude as a function of the wire width, compare the experimental results with theories, and estimate the parameters for existing theoretical models.

Title Feasibility investigation of NbN nanowires as detector in time-of-flight mass spectrometers for macromolecules of interest in biology (proteins) Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication J. Low Temp. Phys. Abbreviated Journal J. Low Temp. Phys.
Volume 151 Issue 3-4 Pages 771-776
Keywords NbN SSPD, SNSPD, nanowires
Abstract We are investigating the possibility of using NbN nanowires as detectors in time-of-flight mass spectrometers for investigation of macromolecules of interest in biology (proteins). NbN nanowires could overcome the two major drawbacks encountered so far by cryogenic detectors, namely the low working temperature in the mK region and the slow temporal response. In fact, NbN nanowires can work at 5 K and the response time is at least a factor 10–100 better than that of other cryogenic detectors. We present a feasibility study based on a numerical code to calculate the response of a NbN nanowire. The parameter space is investigated at different energies from IR to macromolecules (i.e. from eV to keV) in order to understand if larger value of film thickness and width can be used for the keV energy region. We also present preliminary experimental results of irradiation with X-ray photons of NbN to simulate the effect of macromolecules of the same energy.

Title Transition-edge sensors based on superconducting nanowires Type Abstract
Year 2006 Publication Proc. APS March Meeting Abbreviated Journal Proc. APS March Meeting
Volume Issue Pages B38.00001
Keywords NbN nanowire TES
Abstract We present our experimental study of superconducting NbN nanowire-based sensor. The responsivity of the sensor is strongly affected by the superconducting transition width of the nanostructure, which, in turn, is determined by the phase slip centers (PCSs) dynamics. The fluctuations and noise properties of the sensor are also discussed, as well as the devices' behavior at high magnetic fields. The ultimate performance of the sensor and prospects of the devices will be discussed, as well.
