Oxygen, the lifeblood of all living beings, is both a blessing and a challenge for us material physicists working on the materials growth for electronics. Superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and multiferroicity—these remarkable properties of materials in oxides electronics are intrinsically linked to the presence of oxygen. In this presentation, we will explore how oxygen...
Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) are advanced devices renowned for their high sensitivity, low noise, and fast speed, making them ideal for single photon detection applications such as quantum communication, photonic quantum computing, imaging, and LIDAR. Today, I will share the advanced SNSPD technologies developed by our group and discuss our efforts to transition...
