• Abstract: Single-photon detection is an energy quantum limit detection (EQLD) of a significantly weak electromagnetic wave. Given the sensitivity of the conventional electromagnetic induction microwave receiver working at room-temperature is very limited, due to the significantly strong thermal noise, here we analyze the possibility of approaching the EQLD of the weak microwave signal by using a current-biased Josephson Junction (CBJJ) detector. By numerically simulating the dynamics for the phase particle of the CBJJ, we propose an approach to describe the discriminability between the probabilistically escaped events of the phase particle with and without the microwave current driving, by measuring the minimum $d_{\rm KC}$-index. We predicate that, the experimentally demonstrated CBJJ detectors possess the ability to resolve about a dozen photons. The feasibility of the desired EQLD of microwave signal by using the CBJJ detector is also discussed.

  We demonstrate a cryogenic electro-optic sampling (EOS) setup that allows for the measurement of microwave signals at arbitrary positions. We use a Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS) to generate quantum-accurate voltage signals and measure them with the EOS setup. We use the EOS setup to determine the time-domain response of ultrafast cryogenic photodiodes and the electrical coefficient reflection, i.e., the S11 scattering parameter, in a superconducting transmission line.

  We theoretically analyze the photodetection of single microwave pulses. We find a trade-off between detecting the time and the frequency of the incoming photons in agreement with the time-energy uncertainty relation. Our findings give insight into the time-dependent properties of microwave photons interacting with electrons in a DQD-resonator hybrid system.

  A promising approach is to measure the energies of the electrons released during the radioactive decay of tritium. The energies of interest are within a few eV of the 18.6 keV end point, and so are mildly relativistic. We consider a range of issues relating to the design and optimisation of inward-looking quantum-noise-limited microwave receivers for single-electron CRES.

  Microwave or radio-frequency driving poses a significant limitation for miniaturization, energy-efficiency and non-invasiveness of quantum sensors. We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing. Our results pave the way for highly compact quantum sensors to be employed for magnetometry or gyroscopy applications.

  Detection of single, itinerant microwave photons is an important functionality for emerging quantum technology applications. It was demonstrated that a double quantum dot (DQD) coupled to a microwave resonator can act as an efficient and continuous photodetector. Here we theoretically investigate, in the same system, the fluctuations of the photocurrent through the DQD for a coherent microwave drive of the resonator.

In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
