Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an optical detector system capable of detecting in the infrared and terahertz regions of the electromagnetic spectrum with increased sensitivity and simplicity. It includes microbolometers in an array, a waveguide for receiving readout light input from an optical light source, waveguide splitters for splitting the waveguide to output waveguides such that each microbolometer in the array is optically coupled to an output waveguide. The output waveguide is coupled to an optical resonator of the microbolometer at a resonance frequency to generate a readout light output having a characteristic based on a change in a characteristic of the optical resonator. The system further includes a detector for receiving the readout light output from each of the output waveguides to convert the readout light output to an electrical signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention related to a neuromimetic circuit including a transmitter circuit to receive the threshold signal from a superconducting optoelectronic neuron and convert the small current pulse to a voltage pulse sufficient to produce light from a semiconductor diode. This light is the signal used to communicate between neurons in the network. The transmitter circuit in accordance with the present invention includes an amplifier chain that comprises two Josephson junctions, a superconducting thin-film current-gated current amplifier, and a superconducting thin-film current-gated voltage amplifier. The transmitter circuit in accordance with the present invention enable an amplification sequence that allows neuronal firing of about 20 MHz with power density sufficiently low to be cooled with standard 4He cryogenic systems operating at 4.2 K.

Abstract: A thermally coupled imager includes a single photon detection pixel electrically isolated but in thermal communication with a thermal readout bus via a thermally conductive galvanic isolator, wherein the single photon detection pixel receives a single photon and produces thermal energy that is communicated to the thermal readout bus. A position and time of arrival of the single photon received by the single photon detection pixel is determined from voltage pulses produced by the thermal readout bus in response to receiving the thermal energy from the single photon detection pixel.

Abstract: A high precision photonic readout for performing high precision photon sensing includes a laser source, photonic sensor, photonic sensor measurement module, laser and stabilization module. The photonic sensor measurement module receives the sensor light and produces a modulator control signal. The laser stabilization module receives the reference light and produces a phase lock signal that stabilizes the reference light frequency that controls the laser source to produce the reference light.

Abstract: An example electric circuit includes a superconductor component having a first terminal at a first end and a second terminal at a second end. The superconductor component includes a first portion coupled to the first terminal, a second portion coupled to the second terminal, and a third portion coupling the first portion and the second portion. The third portion has a curved shape such that the first portion of the superconductor component is proximate to, and thermally coupled to, the second portion of the superconductor component. The example electric circuit further includes a coupling component coupled to the third portion of the superconductor component, and a gate component configured to generate a resistive heat that exceeds a superconducting threshold temperature of the superconductor component, where the gate component is separated from the superconductor component by the coupling component.

Abstract: A process for bang-anneal-bang quantum optimization includes: identifying base curve v(t); setting a total runtime of the process; creating an initial guess for parameters in an ansatz; creating an initial guess for parameters in an ansatz; evolving a quantum state from a ground state of B following Hamiltonian H(t)=u(t) B+(1−u(t)) C and, at termination of evolving the quantum state, measuring the resulting quantum state; updating the parameters for the ansatz based on the resulting quantum state; repetitively creating the ansatz for u(t), evolving the quantum state from the ground state of B following Hamiltonian H(t), and, at termination of evolving the quantum state, determining the resulting quantum state until the classical outer loop converges to a selected convergence limit; and returning the final form of u(t) to perform bang-anneal-bang quantum optimization.

Abstract: Hysteretic current-voltage mediated void-free superconformal and bottom-up filling of recessed features includes providing an electrodeposition composition with a hysteretic cyclic voltammogram; providing the substrate controlling applied electric potential; autonomously reducing the deposition potential of the recess; bifurcating the recess; forming a transition zone and moving the transition zone through the metal deposition; and reducing metal ions to form metal; and forming a resistance enhanced superconformal filling in the recess from the metal, such that forming the resistance enhanced superconformal filling occurs in consequence of autonomously reducing the deposition potential of the recess.

Abstract: Preparing a metrologically-relevant entangled state includes: providing a plurality of atoms in a regular lattice, wherein each atom is in an initial quantum state of a first state in a ground state manifold; initializing a central atom in the regular lattice to a (|0+|1)/√2 state while all other atoms remain in the first state |0 as remaining atoms; and proceeding, starting with the central atom, to propagate preparation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states in a nonlinear progression by increasing a number of GHZ states in each iteration through the remaining atoms in a recursive manner, to produce an intermediate GHZ state, such that the intermediate GHZ state acts as an initial GHZ state for a next iteration, until a final GHZ state is formed to prepare the metrologically-relevant entangled state of the atoms.

Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for operating superconducting circuits. In one aspect, an electric circuit includes: (1) a superconductor component having a first terminal at a first end and a second terminal at a second end; (2) a gate component thermally-coupled to the superconductor component at a first location between the first terminal and the second terminal, where the gate component is thermally-coupled via a first section of the gate component; and where the gate component has a smallest width at the first section so as to focus resistive heating toward the superconductor component.
