Superconducting electronics (SCE) has experienced a recent surge in popularity due to a growing expectation of their use in future high-performance computing systems. This talk will cover two main topics that are important for integration of SCE systems: (1) superconducting flexible cables and (2) cable-to-cable connectors for superconducting flexible cables. Over the past several years, we...
Planar MgB2 Josephson junctions and series arrays were fabricated by focused helium ion beam irradiation. This technique forms a junction barrier with the use of a 30 keV focused helium ion beam, nominal beam diameter of less than 0.5 nm and dose of 0.9 ~ 3 × 10^16 ions/cm^2, to locally damage a 25 nm-thick MgB2 thin film grown by hybrid physical-chemical deposition on SiC (0001). The...
There is a strong interest in superconducting transmission lines that operate at microwave frequencies between milli-Kelvin and temperatures near 100 K. We are developing high-quality thin film REBCO superconductor microwave transmission lines on flexible dielectric substrates with thermal conductivity, microwave loss factor and surface resistance that meet application requirements. The high...
