Nanowire Superinductors
Licentiate thesis, 2018
We have fabricated and characterized 20nm thick niobium-nitride nanowires with a width of 40nm, implementing a superinductance with impedance Z = 6.795kΩ. We demonstrate internal quality factors Qi = 2.5×10^4 at single photon excitation, which is significantly higher than values reported in devices with similar materials and geometries. Moreover, we show that the dominant dissipation in our nanowires is not an intrinsic property of the disordered films, but can instead be fully understood within the well-studied framework of two-level systems.
