Summary
This report summarizes the research performed on the LDRD project 02-ERD-071 to develop a quantum-limited microwave amplifier based on a dc Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (dc-SQUID). This project began in June 2002 and concluded in May 2005. This project produced the lowest noise temperature amplifiers ever produced, both in absolute terms and in relation to the Standard Quantum Limit. Being an order of magnitude lower in noise than the best HFET devices available, they are of great interest to a number of groups. Potential applications are numerous, from dark-matter searches to national security applications in Quantum Information Processing. Collaborations started during this project are continuing with the goal of single-spin detection using the rf-SET. Publications are forthcoming covering both the experimental results and the theoretical modeling. The most important publication with the noise temperature results will appear after the low frequency follow-up experiment. The other publications in production cover the input impedance measurements and the resulting transmission line models.
