• Abstract: Lithium Niobate is an electro-optic material with many applications in microwave signal processing, communication, quantum sensing, and quantum computing. In this letter, we present findings on evaluating the complex electromagnetic permittivity of lithium niobate at millikelvin temperatures. Measurements are carried out using a resonant-type method with a superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavity operating at 7 GHz and designed to characterize anisotropic dielectrics. The relative permittivity tensor and loss tangent are measured at 50 mK with unprecedented accuracy.

  We report on a coupled cavity configuration in which a superconducting cavity is coupled with a high permittivity resonator. The sensitivities of such configurations are discussed both in strong coupling and weak coupling regime. These results highlight the potential of the coupled resonator systems as microwave sensors and are useful for the engineering of high permittivity resonators for applications at cryogenic temperatures.

We show that the geometry of the ferromagnet plays also an important role, by setting the fundamental frequency of the magnonic resonator.
