• Abstract: Quantum point contact or QPC -- a constriction in a semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) electron system with a quantized conductance -- has been found as the building block of novel spintronic, and topological electronic circuits. They can also be used as readout electronic, charge sensor or switch in quantum nanocircuits. A short and impurity-free constriction with superconducting contacts is a Cooper pairs QPC analogue known as superconducting quantum point contact (SQPC). The technological development of such quantum devices has been prolonged due to the challenges of maintaining their geometrical requirement and near-unity superconductor-semiconductor interface transparency. Here, we develop advanced nanofabrication, material and device engineering techniques and report on an innovative realisation of nanoscale SQPC arrays with split gate technology in semiconducting 2D electron systems, exploiting the special gate tunability of the quantum wells, and report the first experimental observation of conductance quantization in hybrid InGaAs-Nb SQPCs. We observe reproducible quantized conductance at zero magnetic fields in multiple quantum nanodevices fabricated in a single chip and systematically investigate the quantum transport of SQPCs at low and high magnetic fields for their potential applications in quantum metrology, for extremely accurate voltage standards, and fault-tolerant quantum technologies.
