Here, we experimentally test the applicability of an aluminium Josephson junction of a few
micrometers size as a single photon counter in the microwave frequency range. We have …

Bolometers for balloon and space missions have seen extensive development because of
their capacity to test primordial conditions of the Universe. The major improvements consist …

A sine–Gordon breather is demonstrated to enhance the heat transfer in a thermally biased
long Josephson junction. This solitonic channel allows for the tailoring of the local …

We present radiofrequency thermometry based on a tunnel junction between a
superconductor and proximitized normal metal. It allows operation in a wide range of biasing …

Abstract The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation is the only observable that
allows studying the earliest stage of the Universe. Radioastronomy instruments for CMB …

The optimal working temperature of Josephson threshold detectors (JTDs) in single-photon
detection is a critical factor that directly affects their performance and sensitivity. This study …

Abstract Properties of long Josephson junctions, fabricated from YBCO high-temperature
superconducting thin films, are investigated experimentally and by numerical modeling …

A metamaterial receiver, featuring a 19-ring facet structure and intended for usage with a
lens, has been successfully designed, fabricated, and tested. The presented concept uses …

The resonant properties of Cold-Electron Bolometers (CEBs) located at a 0.3 K cryostat plate
are measured using a 50 μm long high-temperature YBa2Cu3O 7− δ (YBCO) Josephson …

A superconducting quantum magnetometer for high-sensitivity applications has been
developed by exploiting the flux focusing of the superconducting loop. Unlike conventional …
