• Title: Noise performance & thermalization of single electron transistors using quantum fluids
• Abstract summary: We report on low-temperature noise measurements of a single electron transistor immersed in superfluid $4$He. The device acts as a charge sensitive electrometer able to detect the fluctuations of charged defects in close proximity to the SET. We find that the presence of superfluid $4$He can strongly suppress the switching rate of the defect by cooling the surrounding phonon bath.

• Abstract: We report on low-temperature noise measurements of a single electron transistor (SET) immersed in superfluid $^4$He. The device acts as a charge sensitive electrometer able to detect the fluctuations of charged defects in close proximity to the SET. In particular, we measure telegraph switching of the electric current through the device originating from a strongly coupled individual two-level fluctuator. By embedding the device in a superfluid helium immersion cell we are able to systematically control the thermalizing environment surrounding the SET and investigate the effect of the superfluid on the SET noise performance. We find that the presence of superfluid $^4$He can strongly suppress the switching rate of the defect by cooling the surrounding phonon bath.

  We report observations of discrete charge states of a coherent two-level system (TLS) that is strongly coupled to an offset-charge-sensitive superconducting transmon qubit. We measure an offset charge of 0.072$e$ associated with the two TLS eigenstates, which have a transition frequency of 2.9 GHz and a relaxation time exceeding 3 ms. This study demonstrates microwave-frequency TLS as a source of low-frequency charge noise.
