| Abstract |
We report the results of our study of the stability of an 800 GHz hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer cooled with a pulse-tube cryocooler. Pulse-tube cryocoolers introduce temperature fluctuations as well as mechanical vibrations at a frequency of ~1 Hz, both of which can cause receiver gain fluctuations at that frequency. In our system, the motor of the cryocooler was separated from the cryostat to minimize mechanical vibrations, leaving thermal effects as the dominant source of the receiver gain fluctuations. We measured root mean square temperature variations of the 4 K stage of ~7 mK. The HEB mixer was pumped by a solid state local oscillator at 810 GHz. The root mean square current fluctuations at the low noise operating point (1.50 mV, 56.5 μA) were ~0.12 μA, and were predominantly due to thermal fluctuations. To stabilize the bias current, microwave radiation was injected to the HEB mixer. The injected power level was set by a proportional-integral-derivative controller, which completely compensates for the bias current oscillations induced by the pulse-tube cryocooler. Significant improvement in the Allan variance of the receiver output power was obtained, and an Allan time of 5 s was measured. |

| Abstract |
We present thorough measurements of the intrinsic detection efficiency in the wavelength range from 350 to 2500 nm for meander-type TaN and NbN superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors with different widths of the nanowire. The width varied from 70 nm to 130 nm. The open-beam configuration allowed us to accurately normalize measured spectra and to extract the intrinsic detection efficiency. For detectors from both materials the intrinsic detection efficiency at short wavelengths amounts at 100% and gradually decreases at wavelengths larger than the specific cut-off wavelengths, which decreases with the width of the nanowire. Furthermore, we show that applying weak magnetic fields perpendicular to the meander plane decreases the smallest detectable photon flux. |

| Abstract |
Монография посвящена актуальным проблемам физики сверхпроводниковых джозефсоновских кубитов — макроскопических квантовых структур, перспективных элементов квантовых компьютеров. Приведены элементы квантовой механики кубитов, фундаментальные свойства сверхпроводников, физика классических и квантовых джозефсоновских структур. Рассмотрены основные типы сверхпроводниковых кубитов. Изложены результаты экспериментальных и теоретических исследований квантовых когерентных явлений в джозефсоновских кубитах. Рассмотрены спектроскопия энергетичеÂских состояний, осцилляции Раби, эффект Ландау-Зинера, многофотонные переходы в одиночних кубитах и в системах связанных кубитов. Изучено влияние шумов на потоковый кубит и на его классический аналог.
Для специалистов в области теоретической и прикладной физики, сверхпроводниковой микроэлектроники, а также аспирантов и студентов физико-технических специальностей. |
