in this paper, shielding effectiveness (se) of a perforated enclosure with imperfectly conducting walls is evaluated. to this end, first, an accurate numerical technique based on method of moments (mom) ispresented. in this method, lossy metallic walls of the enclosure are replaced by equivalent electric surfacecurrent sources. then, the impedance boundary condition on the imperfectly conductin...

The superconducting Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) is vital in all modern superconducting Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) digital systems. Importance of microwave components comes from the fact that superconducting circuits operate with an ultra-wide band signal in the ultra-low dissipation environment. At a typical signal bandwidth of 300 GHz, even a 100μm superconducting wire...

Superconductor is a compelling plasmonic medium at terahertz frequencies owing to its intrinsic low Ohmic loss and good tuning property. However, the microscopic physics of the interaction between terahertz wave and superconducting plasmonic structures is still unknown. In this paper, we conducted experiments of the enhanced terahertz transmission through a series of superconducting NbN subwave...

A method for design and implementation of a compact via-less Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Line (CRLH TL) is presented. By introducing a new circuit model, the CRLH transmission line behavior is studied versus the parameters variations to achieve the desired characteristic impedance and electrical length. Then a compact quarter wavelength CRLH transmission line with 70 Ω characte...

To meet the increasing needs of modern heavy ion accelerators, ECR ion source must be developed to deliver high intensity high brightness high charge state ion beams, in terms of accelerator output power and beam transmission efficiency. With the success in several laboratories on fully superconducting ECR ion source development, the performance of highly charged heavy ion beams have been great...

Submitted for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society Critical current noise in rough Josephson junctions1 PIERRE-LUC DALLAIRE-DEMERS, FRANK WILHELM, University of Waterloo — While dissipationless, Josephson junctions as elements in superconducting nanocircuits are plagued by intrinsic noise mechanisms that will limit the coherence time of future high-precision quantum devices. Impor...

We propose a digital-analog quantum simulation of generalized Dicke models with superconducting circuits, including Fermi- Bose condensates, biased and pulsed Dicke models, for all regimes of light-matter coupling. We encode these classes of problems in a set of superconducting qubits coupled with a bosonic mode implemented by a transmission line resonator. Via digital-analog techniques, an eff...

We present a high-resolution microwave spectrometer to measure the frequency- dependent complex conductivity of a superconducting thin film near the critical temperature. The instrument is based on a broadband measurement of the complex reflection coefficient, S 11, of a coaxial transmission line, which is terminated to a thin film sample with the electrodes in a Corbino disk shape. In the vici...
