Emerging Frontiers & Synergies in SRF Thin Films: From Quantum Sensing to AI-Driven Materials

Large experiments in fundamental physics, from axion haloscopes [1] to future accelerator technologies like the CERN FCC [2], can benefit enormously from superconductors with low surface impedance in high magnetic fields. In these regimes, vortex motion is the main source of rf dissipation. The achievable performance is thus governed not only by the intrinsic superconducting properties, but...

Emerging Frontiers & Synergies in SRF Thin Films: From Quantum Sensing to AI-Driven Materials

Superconducting quantum bits (qubits) are regarded as the key technological building blocks for future quantum computers and sensors. One of the primary obstacles to extending qubit performance and in particular coherence times is the presence of photon-absorbing defects, commonly modeled as two-level systems (TLS). Microscopic sources of TLS—such as oxygen vacancies, hydroxyl groups, and...
