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 superinductor, can produce a quantum circuit where charge fluctuations are suppressed. The superinductor consists of a 40 nm wide niobium nitride nanowire and exhibits a single photon quality factor of $2.5 times 10^4$. Furthermore, by examining loss rates, we demonstrate that the dissipation of our nanowire devices can be fully understood in the framework of two-level system loss.

We report development and microwave characterization of rf SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) qubits, consisting of an aluminium-based Josephson junction embedded in a superconducting loop patterned from a thin film of TiN with high
kinetic inductance. Here we demonstrate that the systems can offer small physical size, high anharmonicity, and small scatter of device parameters. The hybrid devices can be utilized as tools to shed further light onto the origin of film dissipation and decoherence in phase-slip nanowire qubits, patterned entirely from disordered superconducting films.
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.
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
ting, opens up a previously inaccessible design space for waveguide resonators. In this manuscript, we present results from the first synthesis of these two technologies in a titanium, aluminum, vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) superconducting radio frequency resonator which exploits a design unattainable through conventional fabrication means. We find that Ti-6Al-4V has two distinct superconducting transition temperatures observable in heat capacity measurements. The higher transition temperature is in agreement with DC resistance measurements. While the lower transition temperature, not previously known in literature, is consistent with the observed temperature dependence of the superconducting microwave surface impedance. From the surface reactance, we extract a London penetration depth of $8pm3{mu}$m - roughly an order of magnitude larger than other titanium alloys and several orders of magnitude larger than other conventional elemental superconductors. This large London penetration depth suggests that Ti-6Al-4V may be a suitable material for high kinetic inductance applications such as single photon counting or parametric amplification used in quantum computing.
We present a compact current sensor based on a superconducting microwave lumped-element resonator with a nanowire kinetic inductor, operating at 4.2 K. The sensor is suitable for multiplexed readout in GHz range of large-format arrays of cryogenic de
tectors. The device consists of a lumped-element resonant circuit, fabricated from a single 4-nm-thick superconducting layer of niobium nitride. Thus, the fabrication and operation is significantly simplified in comparison to state-of-the-art approaches. Because the resonant circuit is inductively coupled to the feed line the current to be measured can directly be injected without having the need of an impedance matching circuit, reducing the system complexity. With the proof-of-concept device we measured a current noise floor {delta}Imin of 10 pA/Hz1/2 at 10 kHz. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ability of our sensor to amplify a pulsed response of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using a GHz-range carrier for effective frequency-division multiplexing.
We have designed superinductors made of strongly disordered superconductors for implementation in hybrid superconducting quantum circuits. The superinductors have been fabricated as meandered nanowires made of granular Aluminum films. Optimization of
the device geometry enabled realization of superinductors with the inductance $sim 1 {mu}H$ and the self-resonance frequency over 3 GHz. These compact superinductors are attractive for a wide range of applications, from superconducting circuits for quantum computing to microwave elements of cryogenic parametric amplifiers and kinetic-inductance photon detectors.
