Scaling the photon-detection area of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) has traditionally been achieved by nanowire meandering. However, material inhomogeneities and fabrication-induced defects, such as line-edge roughness, increase with nanowire length, leading to reduced internal photon-detection efficiency and elevated dark-count rates. This trade-off becomes increasingly pronounced as nanowires are scaled to sub-100 nm widths and sub-5 nm thicknesses required for mid- to far-infrared sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate an antenna-coupled SNSPD architecture that enhances the effective photon-detection area without increasing nanowire length. A crossed bowtie antenna integrated with an 80 nm-wide, 3 nm-thick WSi nanowire yields 15.7$\times$ increase in effective detection area at 7.4 $μ$m compared to a bare nanowire of identical geometric footprint, while maintaining the same internal detection efficiency and dark-count rate. Antenna coupling provides a scalable approach to increasing photon-detection area while reducing the noise-equivalent power, offering performance benefits for applications in astronomy, biological imaging, and molecular spectroscopy.

Achieving both high internal efficiency and fast reset times at elevated temperatures remains challenging due to limited understanding of how film properties govern SNSPD performance. We demonstrate that epitaxial NbN films on sapphire enable simultaneous high efficiency and rapid response. We fabricate and characterize SNSPDs based on these films deposited via DC magnetron sputtering on c-cut sapphire. High-quality epitaxial growth preserves a low electron diffusion coefficient and promotes strong electron-phonon coupling, yielding a high critical temperature and efficient hotspot formation in the dirty limit. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirm epitaxial alignment and lattice order. Nanowires of 20 nm width exhibit saturated internal efficiency at 1550 nm wavelength and short reset times at 4.2 K, enabled by lattice matching and high thermal conductance of the sapphire interface. Ab initio modeling reproduces photon count rates, linking device performance quantitatively to film properties such as diffusivity and electron-phonon coupling.

Light dark matter candidates such as axions and dark photons generically couple to electromagnetism, yielding dark-matter-to-photon conversion as a key search strategy. In addition to resonant conversion in cavities and circuits, light dark matter bosons efficiently convert to photons on material interfaces, with a broadband power proportional to the total area of these interfaces. In this work, we make use of interface conversion to develop a new experimental dark matter detector design: the disordered dielectric detector. We show that a volume filled with dielectric powder is an efficient, robust, and broadband target for axion-to-photon or dark-photon-to-photon conversion. We perform semi-analytical and numerical studies in small-volume 2D and 3D disordered systems to compute the conversion power as a function of dark matter mass. We also discuss the power gathered onto a sensitive photodetector in terms of the bulk properties of the disordered material, making it possible to characterize the predicted dark-matter-to-photon conversion rate across a wide range of wavelengths. Finally, we propose DPHaSE: the Dielectric Powder Haloscope SNSPD Experiment which is composed of a disordered dielectric target, a veto system, and a photon collection chamber to maximize the coupling between the powder target and a low noise superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD). With ambitious but realistic improvements to sensor area and detection efficiency at low energy, the projected reach in the 10 meV-eV mass range is sensitive to QCD axion-photon couplings and exceeds current constraints on dark photon dark matter by up to 5 orders of magnitude.

Superconducting devices have enabled breakthrough performance in quantum sensing and ultra-low-power computing. Nevertheless, the need for a cryo-electronics platform that can interface superconductor electronics with Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) devices has become increasingly evident in many cutting-edge applications. In this work, we present a three-terminal micrometer-wide superconducting wire-based cryotron switch (wTron), fabricated using photolithography, that can directly interface with CMOS electronics. The wTron features an output impedance exceeding 1 k$Ω$ and exhibits reduced sensitivity to ambient magnetic noise, similar to its nanoscale predecessor, the nanocryotron. In addition, its micrometer-wide wires support switching currents in the mA range, making wTrons well-suited for driving current-hungry resistive loads and highly capacitive CMOS loads. We demonstrate this capability by using the wTron to drive room-temperature CMOS electronics, including an LED and a MOSFET with a gate capacitance of 500 pF. We then examine the optimal design parameters of wTrons to drive CMOS loads, such as MOSFETs, HEMTs, and electro-optic modulators. Furthermore, to demonstrate the foundry readiness of the wTron, we fabricated wTrons using MIT Lincoln Laboratory's SFQ5ee superconducting process and characterized their switching behavior. Our work shows that wTron will facilitate the interface between superconductor electronics and CMOS, thereby paving the way for the development of foundry-compatible cryo-electronic ecosystems to advance next-generation computing and quantum applications.

In this work, we present a technique to determine the mid-infrared refractive indices of thin superconducting films using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In particular, we performed FTIR transmission and reflection measurements on 10-nm-thick NbN and 15-nm-thick MoSi films in the wavelength range of 2.5 to 25 $μ$m, corresponding to frequencies of 12-120 THz or photon energies of 50-500 meV. To extract the mid-infrared refractive indices of these thin films, we used the Drude-Lorentz oscillator model to represent their dielectric functions and implemented an optimization algorithm to fit the oscillator parameters by minimizing the error between the measured and simulated FTIR spectra. We performed Monte Carlo simulations in the optimization routine to estimate error ranges in the extracted refractive indices resulting from multiple sources of measurement uncertainty. To evaluate the consistency of the extracted dielectric functions, we compared the refractive indices extrapolated from these dielectric functions in the UV to near-infrared wavelengths with the values separately measured using spectroscopic ellipsometry. We validated the applicability of the extracted mid-infrared refractive indices of NbN and MoSi at temperatures below their critical temperatures by comparing them with the Mattis-Bardeen model. This FTIR-based refractive index measurement approach can be extended to measure the refractive indices of thin films at wavelengths beyond 25 $μ$m, which will be useful for designing highly efficient photon detectors and photonic devices with enhanced optical absorption in the mid- and far-infrared wavelengths.

Laser cooled atoms have proven transformative for precision metrology, playing a pivotal role in state-of-the-art clocks and interferometers, and having the potential to provide a step-change in our modern technological capabilities. To successfully explore their full potential, laser cooling platforms must be translated from the laboratory environment and into portable, compact quantum sensors for deployment in practical applications. This transition requires the amalgamation of a wide range of components and expertise if an unambiguously chip-scale cold atom sensor is to be realized. We present recent developments in cold-atom sensor miniaturization, focusing on key components that enable laser cooling on the chip-scale. The design, fabrication and impact of the components on sensor scalability and performance will be discussed with an outlook to the next generation of chip-scale cold atom devices.

The measurement of tiny variations in local gravity enables the observation of subterranean features. Gravimeters have historically been extremely expensive instruments, but usable gravity measurements have recently been conducted using MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors. Such sensors are cheap to produce, since they rely on the same fabrication techniques used to produce mobile phone accelerometers. A significant challenge in the development of MEMS gravimeters is maintaining stability over long time periods, which is essential for long term monitoring applications. A standard way to demonstrate gravimeter stability and sensitivity is to measure the periodic elastic distortion of the Earth due to tidal forces - the Earth tides. Here we present a nineteen day measurement of the Earth tides, with a correlation coefficient to the theoretical signal of 0.979. The estimated bias instability of the proposed gravimeter is 8.18 microGal for an averaging time of ~400 s when considering the raw, uncompensated data. The bias instability extracted from the sensor electronic noise sits just under 2 mircoGal for an averaging time of ~200 s. After removing the long-term temperature and control electronics effects from the raw data, a linear drift of 268 microGal/day is observed in the data, which is among one of the best reported for a MEMS device. These results demonstrate that this MEMS gravimeter is capable of conducting long-therm time-lapse gravimetry, a functionality essential for applications such as volcanology.

A single-axis Microelectromechanical system gravimeter has recently been developed at the University of Glasgow. The sensitivity and stability of this device was demonstrated by measuring the Earth tides. The success of this device was enabled in part by its extremely low resonant frequency. This low frequency was achieved with a geometric anti-spring design, fabricated using well-established photolithography and dry etch techniques. Analytical models can be used to calculate the results of these non-linear oscillating systems, but the power of finite element analysis has not been fully utilised to explore the parameter space before now. In this article, the results of previous analytical solutions are replicated using finite element models, before applying the same techniques to optimise the design of the gravimeter. These computer models provide the ability to investigate the effect of the fabrication material of the device: anisotropic <100> crystalline silicon. This is a parameter that is difficult to investigate analytically, but finite element modelling is demonstrated here to provide accurate predictions of real gravimeter behaviour by taking anisotropy into account. The finite element models are then used to demonstrate the design of a three-axis gravimeter enabling the gravity tensor to be measured - a significantly more powerful surveying tool than the original single-axis device.

We report electroluminescence originating from L-valley transitions in n-type Ge/Si$_{0.15}$Ge$_{0.85}$ quantum cascade structures centered at 3.4 and 4.9 THz with a line broadening of $Δf/f \approx 0.2$. Three strain-compensated heterostructures, grown on a Si substrate by ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition, have been investigated. The design is based on a single quantum well active region employing a vertical optical transition and the observed spectral features are well described by non-equilibrium Green's function calculations. The presence of two peaks highlights a suboptimal injection in the upper state of the radiative transition. Comparison of the electroluminescence spectra with similar GaAs/AlGaAs structure yields one order of magnitude lower emission efficiency.

The recently developed precession electron diffraction (PED) technique in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been used to elucidate the local strain distribution and crystalline misorientation in CMOS fabricated strained Ge micro disk structure grown on Si substrate. Such structures are considered to be a compact optical source for the future photonics due to the specific undercut for direct bandgap behaviour under strain. In this study, the strain maps are interpreted and compared with a finite element model (FEM) of the strain in the investigated structure. Results demonstrate that the SiN used as a stressor on top of the Ge disk induces an in-plane strain $ε_{xx}$ of a maximum value of almost 2 % which is also confirmed by FEM simulations. This tensile strain can reduce the difference between the direct and indirect bandgaps leading to direct bandgap radiative transitions, with the potential for applications in strained Ge lasers.

Owing to the near-field enhancement, the result is an ultrafast, sub-diffraction, coherent light source tunable between 3 and 5 micrometer wavelength on a silicon substrate. To observe nonlinearity in this challenging spectral region, a high-power femtosecond laser system equipped with parametric frequency conversion in combination with an all-reflective confocal microscope setup is employed. We show spatially resolved maps of the linear scattering cross section and the nonlinear emission of single isolated antenna structures. A clear third order power dependence as well as the mid-infrared emission spectra prove the nonlinear nature of the light emission. Simulations support the observed resonance length of the double rod antenna and demonstrate that the field enhancement inside the antenna material is responsible for the nonlinear frequency mixing.

Gravimeters are devices which measure changes in the value of the gravitational acceleration, \textit{g}. This information is used to infer changes in density under the ground allowing the detection of subsurface voids; mineral, oil and gas reserves; and even the detection of the precursors of volcanic eruptions. A micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) gravimeter has been fabricated completely in silicon allowing the possibility of cost e-effective, lightweight and small gravimeters. To obtain a measurement of gravity, a highly stable displacement measurement of the MEMS is required. This requires the development of a portable electronics system that has a displacement sensitivity of $\leq 2.5$ nm over a period of a day or more. The portable electronics system presented here has a displacement sensitivity $\leq 10$ nm$/\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$ ($\leq 0.6$ nm at $1000$ s). The battery power system used a modulated LED for measurements and required temperature control of the system to $\pm$ 2 mK, monitoring of the tilt to $\pm$ 2 $μ$radians, the storage of measured data and the transmission of the data to an external server.

This direct approach activates the plasmonic resonance of the Ge structures and enables their use as optical antennas up to the mid-infrared spectral range. The optical switching lasts for hundreds of picoseconds until charge recombination red-shifts the plasma frequency. The full behavior of the structures is modeled by the electrodynamic response established by an electron-hole plasma in a regular array of antennas.

In order to exploit this material, through proper electrodynamic design, it is mandatory to retrieve the dielectric constants of the thin Ge epilayers with high precision due to the difference from bulk Ge crystals. Here we discuss the procedure we have employed to extract the real and imaginary part of the dielectric constants from normal incidence reflectance measurements, by combining the standard multilayer fitting procedure based on the Drude model with Kramers-Kronig transformations of absolute reflectance data in the zero-transmission range of the thin film.
