Due to the Coulomb blockade effect, electrons typically tunnel into a localized state one by one, showing antibunching behavior. However, theory predicts that strong vibronic coupling can generate electron bunching …
We demonstrate a single-photon detector operating in the microwave domain, based on photoassisted quasiparticle tunneling events that poison a superconducting island. The detection relies on continuously monitoring the island’s charge …
We are delighted to welcome Master’s level students to learn about superconducting quantum bits as part of a completely new lab work, developed in collaboration with Marcelo Goffmann (CEA Saclay …
We demonstrate an efficient and continuous microwave photon-to-electron converter with large quantum efficiency (83%) and low dark current. These unique properties are enabled by the use of a high kinetic …
In microwave quantum optics, dissipation usually corresponds to quantum jumps, where photons are lost one by one. Here we demonstrate a new approach to dissipation engineering. By coupling a high …
Rectification of an optical signal using an all-metallic electronic device is of fundamental and technological importance for nano-optics. Researchers probed experimentally the microscopic mechanism at the origin of the optical …
Determining the intrinsic lifetime of states inside the superconducting gap generated by magnetic impurities (YSR states) is crucial for a better understanding of their properties and applications in quantum engineering. …
A team of researchers from the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS) has demonstrated that in all-metallic Josephson field effect transistors, the statistics of electron flow due to the gate …
