We evaluate the performance of hybrid microwave resonators made by combining sputtered Nb thin films with Tungsten nanowires grown with a He-beam induced deposition technique. Depending on growth conditions the nanowires have a typical width $win[35-75]$~nm and thickness $tin[5-40]$~nm. We observe a high normal state resistance $R_{sq}in [65-150]$ $Omega/sq$ which together with a critical temperature $T_cin[4-6]~K$ ensure a high kinetic inductance making the resonator strongly nonlinear. Both lumped and coplanar waveguide resonators were fabricated and measured at low temperature exhibiting internal quality factors up to $3990$ at $4.5$~GHz in the few photon regime. Analyzing the wire length, temperature and microwave power dependence we extracted a kinetic inductance for the W nanowire of $L_Kapprox15$ pH/sq, which is 250 times higher than the geometrical inductance, and a Kerr non-linearity as high as $K_{W,He}/2pi=200 pm 120$~Hz/photon at $4.5$~GHz. The nanowires made with the helium focused ion beam are thus versatile objects to engineer compact, high impedance, superconducting environments with a mask and resist free direct write process.
Superconducting nanowires can be fabricated by decomposition of an organometallic gas using a focused beam of Ga ions. However, physical damage and unintentional doping often results from the exposure to the ion beam, motivating the search for a mean
We demonstrate that a high kinetic inductance disordered superconductor can realize a low microwave loss, non-dissipative circuit element with an impedance greater than the quantum resistance ($R_Q = h/4e^2 simeq 6.5kOmega$). This element, known as a
Investigations into the microwave surface impedance of superconducting resonators have led to the development of single photon counters that rely on kinetic inductance for their operation. While concurrent progress in additive manufacturing, `3D prin
