Using resistance fluctuation spectroscopy, we observe current-induced narrow-band noise (NBN) in the magnetic skyrmion-lattice phase of micrometer-sized MnSi. The NBN appears only when electric-current density exceeds a threshold value,…

Superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) are state-of-the-art in ultra-sensitive magnetometry; however, conventional SQUID devices are fundamentally limited by the inherently nonlinear and periodic nature of their transfer…

The magnetic behaviour of nanoparticles of antiferromagnetic ferritin, with a mean Fe loading of 410 atoms per core, has been investigated by 57Fe Mossbauer absorption spectroscopy down to very low temperature (34mK). In previous experi-…

A major obstacle to using SQUIDs as qubits is flux noise. We propose that the heretofore mysterious spins producing flux noise could be $O_2$ molecules adsorbed on the surface. Using density functional theory calculations, we find that an…

We show a novel method for controlling the coupling of flux-based qubits by means of a superconducting transformer with variable flux transfer function. The device is realized by inserting a small hysteretic dc SQUID with unshunted…

Silicon spin qubits are among the most promising candidates for large scale quantum computers, due to their excellent coherence and compatibility with CMOS technology for upscaling. Advanced industrial CMOS process flows allow wafer-scale…

Low-frequency resistance fluctuations cause excess noise in biased resistors. The magnitude of these fluctuations varies significantly between different resistor types. In this work measurements of excess noise in precision thin film and…

We develop a theory of macroscopic resonant tunneling of flux in a double-well potential in the presence of realistic flux noise with significant low-frequency component. The rate of incoherent flux tunneling between the wells exhibits…
