Amorphous silicon contains tunneling two-level systems, which are the dominant energy loss mechanisms for amorphous solids at low temperatures. These two-level systems affect both mechanical and electromagnetic oscillators and are believed…
Using the Activation-Relaxation Technique-nouveau, we search for two-level systems (TLSs) in models of amorphous silicon (a-Si). The TLSs are mechanisms related to internal mechanical dissipation and represent the main source of noise in…
Tunneling two-level systems (TLSs), generic to amorphous solids, dictate the low-temperature properties of amorphous solids and dominate noise and decoherence in quantum nano-devices. The properties of the TLSs are generally described by…
Two-level systems (TLS) are an important, if not dominant, source of loss and noise for superconducting resonators such as those used in kinetic inductance detectors and some quantum information science platforms. They are similarly…
Recent experimental results showing untypical nonlinear absorption and marked deviations from well known universality in the low temperature acoustic and dielectric losses in amorphous solids prove the need for improving the understanding…
Quantum two-level systems (TLSs) intrinsic to glasses induce decoherence in many modern quantum devices, such as superconducting qubits. Although the low-temperature physics of these TLSs is usually well-explained by a phenomenological…
While several experiments claim that two-level system (TLS) defects in amorphous surfaces/interfaces are responsible for energy relaxation in superconducting resonators and qubits, none can provide quantitative explanation of their data in…
Superconducting resonators are widely used in many applications such as qubit readout for quantum computing, and kinetic inductance detectors. These resonators are susceptible to numerous loss and noise mechanisms, especially the…
Tow-level system (TLS) loss in amorphous dielectric materials has been intensively studied at millikelvin temperatures due to its impact on superconducting qubit devices and incoherent detectors. However, the significance of TLS loss in…
Material research is a key frontier in advancing superconducting qubit and circuit performance. In this work, we develop a simple and broadly applicable framework for accurately characterizing two-level system (TLS) loss using internal…
Quantum sensing and computation can be realized with superconducting microwave circuits. Qubits are engineered quantum systems of capacitors and inductors with non-linear Josephson junctions. They operate in the single-excitation quantum…
The low temperature properties of amorphous solids are usually explained in terms of atomic-scale tunneling two level systems (TLS). For almost 20 years, individual TLS have been probed in insulating layers of superconducting quantum…
The microwave performance of amorphous dielectric materials at very low temperatures and very low excitation strengths displays significant excess loss. Here, we present the loss tangents of some common amorphous and crystalline…
One of the most accepted models that describe the anomalous thermal behavior of amorphous materials at temperatures below 1 K relies on the quantum mechanical tunneling of atoms between two nearly equivalent potential energy wells forming a…
Disordered solids are known to exhibit quantitative universalities at low temperatures, the most striking of which is the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient Q. The established theory of tunneling two state systems (TTLS) in its original…
The investigation of two-level-state (TLS) loss in dielectric materials and interfaces remains at the forefront of materials research in superconducting quantum circuits. We demonstrate a method of TLS loss extraction of a thin film…
Structural two level systems (TLSs) ubiquitous in amorphous solids are dramatically sensitive to thermal cycling to about $20$K and then back to low temperature, a process upon which the excitation energy of most TLSs is significantly…
The microwave absorption and noise caused by quantum two-level systems (TLS) dramatically suppress the coherence in Josephson junction qubits that are promising candidates for a quantum information applications. Microwave absorption by TLSs…
Two-level systems (TLSs) are tunneling states commonly found in amorphous materials that electrically couple to qubits, resonators, and vibrational modes in materials, leading to energy loss in those systems. Recent studies suggest that…
The low temperature universal properties in disordered and amorphous solids are considered. We introduce a model that includes two types of two level systems (TLSs), which, based on their local symmetry, interact weakly or strongly with the…
