We present observations of background charge fluctuators near an Al-AlO_x-Al single-electron transistor on an oxidized Si substrate. The transistor design incorporates a heavily doped substrate and top gate, which allow for independent control of the substrate and transistor island potentials. Through controlled charging of the Si/SiO_2 interface we show that the fluctuators cannot reside in the Si layer or in the tunnel barriers. Combined with the large measured signal amplitude, this implies that the defects must be located very near the oxide surface.

Using first-principles methods we study theoretically the properties of an individual ${Fe_4}$ single-molecule magnet (SMM) attached to metallic leads in a single-electron transistor geometry. We show that the conductive leads do not affect the spin
ordering and magnetic anisotropy of the neutral SMM. On the other hand, the leads have a strong effect on the anisotropy of the charged states of the molecule, which are probed in Coulomb blockade transport. Furthermore, we demonstrate that an external electric potential, modeling a gate electrode, can be used to manipulate the magnetic properties of the system. For a charged molecule, by localizing the extra charge with the gate voltage closer to the magnetic core, the anisotropy magnitude and spin ordering converges to the values found for the isolated ${Fe_4}$ SMM. We compare these findings with the results of recent quantum transport experiments in three-terminal devices.
We calculate the charge sensitivity of a recently demonstrated device where the Josephson inductance of a single Cooper-pair transistor is measured. We find that the intrinsic limit to detector performance is set by oscillator quantum noise. Sensitiv
ity better than $10^{-6}$e$/sqrt{mathrm{Hz}}$ is possible with a high $Q$-value $sim 10^3$, or using a SQUID amplifier. The model is compared to experiment, where charge sensitivity $3 times 10^{-5}$e$/sqrt{mathrm{Hz}}$ and bandwidth 100 MHz are achieved.
The ability to perform nanoscale electric field imaging of elementary charges at ambient temperatures will have diverse interdisciplinary applications. While the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is capable of high-sensitivity electrometry, dem
onstrations have so far been limited to macroscopic field features or detection of single charges internal to diamond itself. In this work we greatly extend these capabilities by using a shallow NV center to image the electric field of a charged atomic force microscope tip with nanoscale resolution. This is achieved by measuring Stark shifts in the NV spin-resonance due to AC electric fields. To achieve this feat we employ for the first time, the integration of Qdyne with scanning quantum microscopy. We demonstrate near single charge sensitivity of $eta_e = 5.3$ charges/$sqrt{text{Hz}}$, and sub-charge detection ($0.68e$). This proof-of-concept experiment provides the motivation for further sensing and imaging of electric fields using NV centers in diamond.
We examine a silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) for cryogenic pre-amplification of a single electron transistor (SET). The SET current modulates the base current of the HBT directly. The HBT-SET circuit is immersed in liquid he
lium, and its frequency response from low frequency to several MHz is measured. The current gain and the noise spectrum with the HBT result in a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) that is a factor of 10-100 larger than without the HBT at lower frequencies. The transition frequency defined by SNR = 1 has been extended by as much as a factor of 10 compared to without the HBT amplification. The power dissipated by the HBT cryogenic pre-amplifier is approximately 5 nW to 5 {mu}W for the investigated range of operation. The circuit is also operated in a single electron charge read-out configuration in the time-domain as a proof-of-principle demonstration of the amplification approach for single spin read-out.
We investigate charge qubit measurements using a single electron transistor, with focus on the backaction-induced renormalization of qubit parameters. It is revealed the renormalized dynamics leads to a number of intriguing features in the detectors
noise spectra, and therefore needs to be accounted for to properly understand the measurement result. Noticeably, the level renormalization gives rise to a strongly enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, which can even exceed the universal upper bound imposed quantum mechanically on linear-response detectors.
