This proposal requests funds to support the research of 5 graduate students working on experimental low temperature physics. The research involves developing or implementing new configurations of measurements using cryogenic sensors such as SQUIDs, SETS, rf-QPCs and TESs. We are applying these measurements to answer questions in fundamental physics such as the effect of dissipation in a macroscopic quantum system, the magnetic properties of a dilute frustrated Ising dipolar magentic system, novel magnetic materials exhibiting magnetic monopole physics, the resolution of latent heat in potential weak first order phase transitions, and the quantum limited behaviour of magnetic and electric field sensors.

该提案请求资金支持 5 名实验低温物理研究生的研究。该研究涉及使用 SQUID、SETS、rf-QPC 和 TES 等低温传感器开发或实施新的测量配置。我们正在应用这些测量来回答基础物理学中的问题，例如宏观量子系统中的耗散效应、稀受抑伊辛偶极磁系统的磁特性、表现出磁单极子物理的新型磁性材料、潜在弱一级相变中潜热的分辨率以及磁场和电场传感器的量子限制行为。
