Helium-Gas-Cooled Cryogenic Current Comparator Integrated with a Quantum Resistance Standard

We report a cryogen-free cryogenic current comparator (CCC) system for precision resistance measurements. A helium-gas chamber was developed and installed on the 4 K stage of a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator equipped with a pulse-tube cryocooler. The CCC probe was housed in this chamber and was cooled through helium gas serving as a heat exchange medium. The metrological performance of this helium-gas-cooled CCC was evaluated through precision resistance-ratio measurements and found to be comparable to that obtained under liquid-helium cooling. A quantum Hall resistance (QHR) device was also integrated into the same refrigerator, enabling QHR/100~$Ω$ resistance-ratio measurements. The type-A uncertainty reached the 1~n$Ω$/$Ω$ level within an averaging time of 100~s, and the resulting resistance-ratio measurements agreed well with conventional liquid-helium-based measurements at the level of a few n$Ω$/$Ω$. The system provides this level of measurement performance while consuming less than 1~L of helium gas per thermal cycle.

Suppression of Electromagnetic Crosstalk by Differential Excitation for SAW Generation

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) hold a vast potential in various fields such as spintronics, quantum acoustics, and electron-quantum optics, but an electromagnetic wave emanating from SAW generation circuits has often been a major hurdle. Here, we investigate a differential excitation method of interdigital transducers (IDTs) to generate SAWs while reducing the electromagnetic wave. The results show that electromagnetic waves are suppressed by more than 90% in all directions. This suppression overcomes the operating limits and improves the scalability of SAW systems. Our results promise to facilitate the development of SAW-based applications in a wide range of research fields.

On-Demand Single-Electron Source via Single-Cycle Acoustic Pulses

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are a reliable solution to transport single electrons with precision in piezoelectric semiconductor devices. Recently, highly efficient single-electron transport with a strongly compressed single-cycle acoustic pulse has been demonstrated. This approach, however, requires surface gates constituting the quantum dots, their wiring, and multiple gate movements to load and unload the electrons, which is very time-consuming. Here, on the contrary, we employ such a single-cycle acoustic pulse in a much simpler way - without any quantum dot at the entrance or exit of a transport channel - to perform single-electron transport between distant electron reservoirs. We observe the transport of a solitary electron in a single-cycle acoustic pulse via the appearance of the quantized acousto-electric current. The simplicity of our approach allows for on-demand electron emission with arbitrary delays on a ns time scale. We anticipate that enhanced synthesis of the SAWs will facilitate electron-quantum-optics experiments with multiple electron flying qubits.

Quantum mechanical current-to-voltage conversion with quantum Hall resistance array

Accurate measurement of the electric current requires a stable and calculable resistor for an ideal current to voltage conversion. However, the temporal resistance drift of a physical resistor is unavoidable, unlike the quantum Hall resistance directly linked to the Planck constant h and the elementary charge e. Lack of an invariant high resistance leads to a challenge in making small current measurements below 1 muA with an uncertainty better than one part in 106. In this work, we demonstrate a current to voltage conversion in the range from a few nano amps to one microamp with an invariant quantized Hall array resistance. The converted voltage is directly compared with the Josephson voltage reference in the framework of Ohm's law. Markedly distinct from the classical conversion, which relies on an artifact resistance reference, this current-to-voltage conversion does not demand timely resistance calibrations. It improves the precision of current measurement down to 8 10 -8 at 1 muA.
