Deshima 2.0
Rapid Redshift Surveys and Multi-line Spectroscopy of Dusty Galaxies
We present a feasibility study for the high-redshift galaxy part of the Science Verification Campaign with the 220–440 GHz deshima 2.0 integrated superconducting spectrometer on the ASTE telescope. The first version of the deshima 2.0 chip has been recently manufactured and teste

Directional Filter Design and Simulation for Superconducting On-Chip Filter-Banks (Journal of Low Temperature Physics, (2024), 10.1007/s10909-024-03118-w)
In this article, the wrong figure appeared as Figures 1 and 2; the figure should have appeared as shown below Figure 1 (right side of the figure only): (Figure presented.) Figure 2: (Figure presented.)@en
Geometry dependence of two-level-system noise and loss in a - Si C
H parallel-plate capacitors for superconducting microwave resonators
Parallel-plate capacitors (PPC) significantly reduce the size of superconducting microwave resonators, reducing the pixel pitch for arrays of single-photon energy-resolving kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). The frequency noise of KIDs is typically limited by tunneling two-leve

Frequency Scatter in Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Improved Analysis Using Pixel-to-Frequency Mapping Setup
Extremely large telescopes (ELTs) are expected to be one of the most promising astronomical observation instruments when it comes to observing exoplanets. During observations, however, Earth’s atmosphere introduces optical distortion, which needs to be corrected. For this reason,

A Gas Emission Setup to Evaluate Wideband Sub-mm Spectrometers
For Frequency Calibration and Long Integration Analysis
A gas-cell-based calibration setup was designed to evaluate the wideband response of sub-millimeter spectrometers like DESHIMA (DEep Spectroscopic High-redshift MApper). The use of low pressure gas emission spectra allowed for accurate calibration of the absolute frequency respon

Multiwavelength observations of active galactic nuclei
Using current facilities and development of enabling technologies
At the center of every galaxy there is a super-massive black hole of a million or more solar masses. In most galaxies the presence of this black hole can only be detected through its gravitational attraction, which affects the motion of nearby stars. However, in about 10% of the
