Very nice work from AWS:
arxiv.org/abs/2506.08130
Surprised why this approach hasn't become the norm in superconducting resonator characterization looong time ago! We focus too much on "single-photon level" resonator measurements. While what matters is the saturation electric field for TLSs.
Broadband and high-precision two-level system loss measurement using superconducting multi-wave resonators
Two-level systems (TLS) are known to be a dominant source of dissipation and decoherence in superconducting qubits. Superconducting resonators provide a convenient way to study TLS-induced loss due to...

We demonstrate multiplexed single-photon generation from T centers in a silicon photonic cavity array, and probe waveguide-mediated long-range interactions using a single emitter.

Congrats to the entire team! Comments welcomed.
Multiplexed color centers in a silicon photonic cavity array
Entanglement distribution is central to the modular scaling of quantum processors and establishing quantum networks. Color centers with telecom-band transitions and long spin coherence times are suita...

New group paper!

We show that embedding a superconducting qubit in a phononic bandgap metamaterial modifies TLS dissipation to a non-Markovian regime.

Non-Markovian dynamics of a superconducting qubit in a phononic bandgap - Nature Physics
Defects known as two-level systems are a major source of noise for superconducting qubits. Adding a phononic crystal is now shown to extend the lifetime of these two-level systems, which could lead to...
