Towards understanding two-level-systems in amorphous solids: insights from quantum circuits

C Müller, JH Cole, J Lisenfeld - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Amorphous solids show surprisingly universal behaviour at low temperatures. The
prevailing wisdom is that this can be explained by the existence of two-state defects within …

[图书][B] Amorphous solids: low-temperature properties

WA Phillips, AC Anderson - 1981 - Springer
It is now ten years since it was first convincingly shown that below 1 K the ther mal
conductivity and the heat capacity of amorphous solids behave in a way which is strikingly …

Interaction of soft modes and sound waves in glasses

U Buchenau, YM Galperin, VL Gurevich, DA Parshin… - Physical Review B, 1992 - APS
The interaction of sound waves with tunneling, relaxational, and resonant vibrational states
in glasses is investigated within the soft-potential model. The same bilinear coupling …

Observation of directly interacting coherent two-level systems in an amorphous material

J Lisenfeld, GJ Grabovskij, C Müller, JH Cole… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Parasitic two-level tunnelling systems originating from structural material defects affect the
functionality of various microfabricated devices by acting as a source of noise. In particular …

Spectral diffusion, phonon echoes, and saturation recovery in glasses at low temperatures

JL Black, BI Halperin - Physical Review B, 1977 - APS
Many features of glasses below 1 K are explicable in terms of localized tunneling levels, for
which a spin-1 2 analogy exists. Here we show that spectral diffusion, resulting from …

Interacting two-level defects as sources of fluctuating high-frequency noise in superconducting circuits

C Müller, J Lisenfeld, A Shnirman, S Poletto - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
Since the very first experiments, superconducting circuits have suffered from strong coupling
to environmental noise, destroying quantum coherence and degrading performance. In state …

Amorphous quantum magnets in a two-dimensional Rydberg atom array

S Julià-Farré, J Vovrosh, A Dauphin - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
Amorphous solids, ie, systems which feature well-defined short-range properties but lack
long-range order, constitute an important research topic in condensed matter. While their …

Thermal and elastic anomalies in glasses at low temperatures

S Hunklinger, AK Raychaudhuri - Progress in low temperature physics, 1986 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary This chapter provides evidence that below 1 K, the thermal properties of
