Description

Workshop on Superconducting Electronics and Detectors

This workshop will be bringing specialists in superconducting electronics and detectors to meet with the nuclear physics users community.

Superconductors have always held many promises in terms of power savings with the advent of superconducting cavities and superconducting magnets. Since superconductivity is based on loosely bound Cooper pairs, some of the best energy and timing resolutions have been achieved with superconducting detectors such as Transition Edge Sensors and Superconducting Tunnel Junction, Superconducting Nanowires. The main drawback being the low temperature required for operation. This issue can be somewhat alleviated in places where cryogenics is readily available such as Jefferson Laboratory or other major Physics facilities. This can give an opportunity to take advantage of the performances of superconducting devices.

Main topics :

· Superconducting detectors technologies  

· Superconducting electronics

· Cryogenics electronics readout

· Properties of superconductors materials and films for detector and electronics productions

· Lithography techniques

· Application of superconducting detectors and electronics for Quantum Computing and AI Machine learning

· Application for physics experiment

· Cryogenics techniques and apparatus

        Superconducting Digital Electronics for Cryogenic Detectors 30m

        The superior performance of arrays of superconducting detectors for
        high energy physics is well known, in terms of their sensitivity and
        speed. These signals are generally amplified and read out and
        analyzed using room-temperature digital electronics some distance
        away. However, an alternative approach is to carry out data
        conversion and partial analysis using digital superconducting
        electronics located close to the cryogenic detectors. This can be
        achieved using ultrafast, ultra-low-power superconducting logic based
        on single-flux-quantum (SFQ) pulses. Relevant devices include
        analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), time-to-digital converters
        (TDCs). digital filters, and digital control logic. Performance of
        these digital circuits is discussed together with applications to
        superconducting detector arrays and superconducting qubits.
