The technical capabilities of cryogenic sensors and their scope of application continue to grow. In the Quantum Sensors Group at NIST, we are developing both transition-edge sensors (TESs) and microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) for a broad range of applications including x-ray materials analysis, nuclear security, terrestrial imaging, and astrophysics. We describe a subset of...

Quantum computing architectures with ten or more quantum bits (qubits) have been implemented using trapped ions and superconducting devices. The next milestone in the quest for a quantum computer is the realization of quantum error correction codes. Such codes will require a very large number of qubits that must be controlled and measured by means of classical electronics. One architectural...

Cryogenic low noise amplifiers (LNAs) find regular use in a wide variety of applications ranging from radio astronomy to quantum computing. When operating at physical temperatures below 20$\,$K, amplifiers based upon InP high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) regularly achieve noise temperatures about an order of magnitude above the...
