Superconducting Parallel-Plate Resonators for the Detection of Single Electron Spins

We introduce a multilayer superconducting microwave resonator with sub-Ohm impedance optimized for high coupling strength to single electron spins. The design minimizes the magnetic far-field and therefore achieves a Purcell factor $F_P > 10^{15}$. We show several ways to fabricate this type of resonator and present resonators with an intrinsic $Q$-factor exceeding $2 \cdot 10^4$ at the single-photon level. We further characterize these resonators in magnetic fields up to $500 \, \text{mT}$. Finally, we evaluate the impact of the achievable Purcell factor on single-spin detection through photon counting and dispersive readout.

Plasmon scattering approach to energy exchange and high frequency noise in nu=2 quantum Hall edge channels

Inter-edge channel interactions in the quantum Hall regime at filling factor nu= 2 are analyzed within a plasmon scattering formalism. We derive analytical expressions for energy redistribution amongst edge channels and for high frequency noise, which are shown to fully characterize the low energy plasmon scattering. In the strong interaction limit, the predictions for energy redistribution are compared with recent experimental data and found to reproduce most of the observed features. Quantitative agreement can be achieved by assuming 25 % of the injected energy is lost towards other degrees of freedom, possibly the additional gapless excitations predicted for smooth edge potentials.
