Abstract
Single photon detection (SPD) has found increasingly important applications in many forefront areas of fundamental science and advanced engineering applications. The current SPD scheme has good sensitivity for photons in the high frequencies range (e.g., visible light). However, their sensitivity decreases drastically for low-frequency, low energy, microwave photons. As a result, the detection of single photons at this low frequency is highly prone to error from classical noise. In this talk we will present results from our recent studies of microwave response in a topological superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) realized in Dirac semimetal Cd3As2. It is observed the effective temperature increases with the microwave power. This observation of large microwave response may pave the way for single photon detection at the microwave frequency in topological quantum materials.
