  1. 1. Quantum Espionage

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Carlo Ninic Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Quantum Nano Photonics; SNSPD; OTDR; Nano Kvantfotonik; SNSPD; OTDR;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the security of optical fiber communication and demonstrates the feasibility of eavesdropping using different tapping methods and superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). Methods for surveillance against fiber intrusion are also investigated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Superconducting gates for InP HEMTs

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Sebastian Alveteg; [2023]
    Keywords : Cryogenic electronics; HEMT; Superconductors; Applied Physics; Kryogenisk elektronik; HEMT; Supraledare; Tillämpad fysik;

    Abstract : The thesis examines the prospects of using the superconductor NbN as the gatemetal for an InP HEMT. A HEMT or High Electron Mobility Transistor is aheterostructure transistor engineered to reach very high electron mobility. InPHEMTs are used as cryogenic Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), which have increasedin demand as quantum computing is scaling up. READ MORE

  4. 3. Adaptation and Redesign of SPECTRAP Beamline

    University essay from

    Author : Oliver Kraft; Elina Hollsten; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Replacement of the superconducting magnet used in the SPECTRAP laser spectroscopy experiment at GSI necessitates redesign of some associated components. This thesis investigates a potential new beamline for SPECTRAP using a single pulse drift tube to slow the ions down. READ MORE

  5. 4. Majorana bound states in chains of interacting quantum dots

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience

    Author : William Samuelson; [2023]
    Keywords : quantum dots; superconducting proximity effect; Majorana bound states; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the creation of Majorana bound states (MBSs) -- a type of condensed matter excitations theorized to have exotic and technologically valuable properties. In particular, they could be used to store and manipulate quantum information in a protected way, forming the building blocks of a topological quantum computer. READ MORE

  6. 5. Experimental Study of Magnetic Field Effects on Hairpin SNSPD Turn Designs for Single Photon Detection : Investigating the Relationship between Magnetic Field Strength and SNSPD Performance
