This paper reviews the state of rapidly emerging terahertz hot-electron nanobolometers
(nano-HEB), which are currently among of the most sensitive radiation power detectors at …

The ability to detect individual light quanta–single photons–is prized across many fields of
physics from astronomy to quantum optics. Superconducting photon detectors offer …

Cryogenic detectors are extremely sensitive and have a wide variety of applications,,(
particularly in astronomy,,,,), but are difficult to integrate into large arrays like a modern CCD …

Abstract Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) provide a promising solution to the problem of
producing large format arrays of ultra sensitive detectors for astronomy. Traditionally KIDs …

Superconducting detectors will play an increasingly significant role in astrophysics,
especially at millimeter through far-IR wavelengths, where the scientific opportunities …

Low temperature detectors have been a subject of intense interest to the scientific
community over the last decade. These detectors work at very low temperatures, often well …

The submillimetre or terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum contains
approximately half of the total luminosity of the Universe and 98% of all the photons emitted …

We review the use of hybrid thin films composed of superconductors and ferromagnets for
creating non-reciprocal electronic components and self-biased detectors of electromagnetic …

Out of equilibrium quasiparticles (QPs) are one of the main sources of decoherence in
superconducting quantum circuits and one that is particularly detrimental in devices with …

Many superconducting devices rely on the finite gap in the excitation spectrum of a
superconductor: thanks to this gap, at temperatures much smaller than the critical one the …
