This article lists a series of research publications from the Quantum Sensors Division at NIST between 2020 and 2023. These studies cover a wide range of topics related to quantum sensors, cryogenics, and advanced measurement techniques. Many of the papers focus on improving the performance and accuracy of sensors used in low-temperature environments, such as transition-edge sensors (TES), microcalorimeters, and X-ray spectrometers. These tools are essential for precise measurements in quantum technologies, materials science, and nuclear physics.
The research includes developments in cryocooler systems, which are used to maintain the extremely low temperatures required for superconducting devices. Other studies explore new methods for calibrating sensors, improving the resolution of X-ray measurements, and understanding the behavior of materials at the nanoscale. These advancements contribute to the broader field of quantum sensing and help establish more accurate and reliable measurement standards. The work is ongoing and reflects NIST’s role in advancing quantum technologies through fundamental research and standardization efforts.
