Microwave Inductive Readout of EBL Nanobridge SQUIDs

Tom Godfrey, George Long, John C. Gallop +5 more

Niobium-based nanobridge superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) have shown very low noise performance and high-frequency operation. We describe how we are bringing together these two aspects of nanobridge SQUIDs with the aim of realizing single spin-flip detection using microwave inductive readout techniques, where the nanobridge SQUID is integrated into a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator. Using electron beam lithography (EBL) is ideal for fabricating nanobridge junctions and has the advantage of being easily scalable compared to using a focused ion beam. In this article, we demonstrate that EBL is suitable for fabricating nanobridge junction SQUIDs, and they exhibit very comparable performance to previous focused ion beam milled SQUIDs. Our integrated devices show potential to be used for flux-tunable sensors.

Miniature DC SQUID devices for the detection of single atomic spin-flips: scaling of flux sensitivity with device dimension

Chris I. Pakes, Patrick Josephs-Franks, R.P. Reed

We report progress towards a SQUID based system capable of detecting single atomic spin-flips. The scaling of the flux sensitivity with SQUID loop dimension of miniature niobium DC SQUID devices is examined and shown experimentally to vary as predicted. Our smallest device, with loop size 3 /spl mu/m/spl times/3 /spl mu/m, is capable of detecting a few spins in a 1 Hz bandwidth.
