We present an efficient fabrication method for absorptive microwave filters based on Eccosorb CR-124. Filters are fabricated from readily available parts and their cut-off frequency can be set by their length. They exhibit desirable…
We report on the development of transmission-line reflectionless filters operating with passbands at 100 GHz and 230 GHz, and stopband absorption up to 500 GHz, the highest operating frequencies yet recorded for such filters. The designs…
The experimental investigation of a broadband far-infrared meta-material absorber is described. The observed absorptance is $>\,0.95$ from ${\rm 1-20\,THz}$ (${\rm 300-15\,\mu m}$) over a temperature range spanning ${\rm 5-300\,K}$. The…

Protecting superconducting quantum circuits from non-ideal return loss, including out-of-band circulator behavior and enhancing the performance of broadband quantum-limited amplifiers can be accomplished using a superconducting version of a…
We have constructed several impedance-matched low-pass filters using a stripline geometry with a dissipative dielectric. The filters are compact, simple to construct, and operate in cryogenic environments. The dissipative dielectric…
Electromagnetic noise is one of the key external factors decreasing superconducting qubits coherence. Matched coaxial filters can prevent microwave and IR photons negative influence on superconducting quantum circuits. Here, we report on…

We explore the physics of thermal impedance matching at the interface between two dissimilar materials by controlling the properties of a single atomic mass or bond. The maximum thermal current is transmitted between the materials when we…
The characteristic impedance of a microwave transmission line is typically constrained to a value $Z_0$ = 50 $ \Omega$, in-part because of the low impedance of free space and the limited range of permittivity and permeability realizable…
