We report the characterisation of printed circuit boards (PCB) metal powder filters and their influence on the effective electron temperature which is as low as 22 mK for a quantum dot in a silicon MOSFET structure in a dilution refrigerator. We investigate the attenuation behaviour (10 MHz- 20 GHz) of filter made of four metal powders with a grain size below 50 um. The room-temperature attenuation of a stainless steel powder filter is more than 80 dB at frequencies above 1.5 GHz. In all metal powder filters the attenuation increases with temperature. Compared to classical powder filters, the design presented here is much less laborious to fabricate and specifically the copper powder PCB-filters deliver an equal or even better performance than their classical counterparts.

The quantum coherence of electronic quasiparticles underpins many of the emerging transport properties of conductors at small scales. Novel electronic implementations of quantum optics devices are now available with perspectives such as flying qubit manipulations. However, electronic quantum interferences in conductors remained up to now limited to propagation paths shorter than $30,mu$m, independently of the material. Here we demonstrate strong electronic quantum interferences after a propagation along two $0.1,$mm long pathways in a circuit. Interferences of visibility as high as $80%$ and $40%$ are observed on electronic analogues of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer of, respectively, $24,mu$m and $0.1,$mm arm length, consistently corresponding to a $0.25,$mm electronic phase coherence length. While such devices perform best in the integer quantum Hall regime at filling factor 2, the electronic interferences are restricted by the Coulomb interaction between copropagating edge channels. We overcome this limitation by closing the inner channel in micron-scale loops of frozen internal degrees of freedom, combined with a loop-closing strategy providing an essential isolation from the environment.
Electron transport in mesoscopic contacts at low temperatures is accompanied by logarithmically divergent equilibrium noise. We show that this equilibrium noise can be dramatically suppressed in the case of a tunnel junction with modulated (time-depe ndent) transparency, and identify the optimal protocol. We show how such a contact could be used either as an optimal electron entangler or as a single-electron source with suppressed equilibrium noise at low temperatures.
We demonstrate the transmission of single electron wavepackets from a clock-controlled source through an empty high-energy edge channel. The quantum dot source is loaded with single electrons which are then emitted with high kinetic energy ($sim$150 meV). We find at high magnetic field that these electron can be transported over several microns without inelastic electron-electron or electron-phonon scattering. Using a time-resolved spectroscopic technique, we measure the electron energy and wavepacket size at picosecond time scales. We also show how our technique can be used to switch individual electrons into different paths.
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) strongly modulate the shallow electric potential in piezoelectric materials. In semiconductor heterostructures such as GaAs/AlGaAs, SAWs can thus be employed to transfer individual electrons between distant quantum dots. This transfer mechanism makes SAW technologies a promising candidate to convey quantum information through a circuit of quantum logic gates. Here we present two essential building blocks of such a SAW-driven quantum circuit. First, we implement a directional coupler allowing to partition a flying electron arbitrarily into two paths of transportation. Second, we demonstrate a triggered single-electron source enabling synchronisation of the SAW-driven sending process. Exceeding a single-shot transfer efficiency of 99 %, we show that a SAW-driven integrated circuit is feasible with single electrons on a large scale. Our results pave the way to perform quantum logic operations with flying electron qubits.
We developed a wideband quasi-optical band-pass filter covering 170-520 GHz by exploiting the recent advancements in commercially available flexible printed circuit (FPC) fabrication technologies. We designed and fabricated a three-layered stack of l oaded hexagonal grid metal meshes using a copper pattern with a narrowest linewidth of $50~mumathrm{m}$ on a polyimide substrate. The measured frequency pass-band shape was successfully reproduced through a numerical simulation using a set of parameters consistent with the dimensions of the fabricated metal meshes. FPC-based metal mesh filters will provide a new pathway toward the on-demand development of millimeter/submillimeter-wave quasi-optical filters at low cost and with a short turnaround time.
