ASC 2022 Electronics Special Sessions

Superconducting Quantum Components and Systems

Quantum components and systems based on superconducting circuits and Josephson junctions are a subject of intense and rapidly growing study in the worldwide race to realize a platform that extends realistic algorithmic capabilities beyond the reach of traditional classical computing. Practitioners of superconducting qubit research explore novel qubit platforms, circuit topologies, control and measurements schemes, and platform-tailored algorithms. In this session, contributors will discuss fundamental components and research towards near-term superconducting quantum systems and overview current and future schemes to advance superconducting qubit platforms through the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era.

Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Tools for Superconductive Electronics: Are we there yet?

Superconductor integrated circuit fabrication technology has improved vastly over the last two decades, but very large scale integration of digital circuits has been hampered by the absence of powerful integrated circuit design tools. Over the last decade, the electronic design automation (EDA) tools for digital superconductor circuits have started to emerge. The first tools were open source modules developed in research laboratories that could solve narrow design problems and had reached limited audiences. Over the last five years, development pace has accelerated rapidly due to the IARPA SuperTools project. Today, powerful commercial EDA tools are available to address most of the design chain from high level system description through logic synthesis, placement and routing and timing verification to physical verification in a simulated electromagnetic environment. The use of these tools is also much more widespread in the superconductor circuit community today. This session provides an overview of recent progress in superconductor integrated circuit EDA tools and attempts to answer the question: are these tools now sufficiently powerful to enable first-pass design of very large scale integration systems?

Transition Edge Sensors (TES) Workshop

Transition-edge sensors, or TESs, are superconducting, thermal detectors. The energy of incoming photons or particles, or the energy of a nuclear reaction within an embedded material, is converted to heat in an absorber. A TES operates in the resistive transition between its superconducting and normal-metal states, where the electrical resistance is a strong function of temperature. Thus the heat of absorption raises the device temperature and resistance. A SQUID ammeter measures changes in the device current. TESs are increasingly used in many measurement fields, including cosmic-microwave-background cosmology, X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy, quantum information, dark-matter searches, and measurement of the neutrino mass.

The first TES Workshop was held in 2002, with the goal that TES researchers from across the globe could share, discuss, and understand confusing experimental results from their early TESs of different geometries and materials systems. The Workshop has been held every two years since, and has been joined to the Applied Superconductivity Conference since 2008.

In 2020 the scope of the TES workshop expanded to include other detectors that share some elements of design, physics, or readout with TESs, and are thus of interest to the TES community. These include kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs), magnetic calorimeters and hot-electron bolometers.

These devices provide interesting laboratories in which to study the nature of superconductivity itself; the Workshop has session dedicated to device physics. Another set of workshop sessions are about device readout: ever larger and more capable arrays are being developed for various measurement applications, and new multiplexed readout schemes are required as an enabling technology. In a nod to the maturation of the field toward measurement instrumentation in an exploding number of fields, there are sessions about measurement applications. Device fabrication is typically covered in one or more Workshop poster sessions.

ASC 2022 Large Scale Special Session

Artificial Intelligence for Large Scale Power Applications

Superconducting technology offers great opportunities for power applications by helping fabricate superconducting apparatus with much higher power density, higher efficiency, lower losses and smaller size compared with their conventional counterparts. However, there are still some challenges that delay the commercialization of superconducting devices, such as the productivity and purchasing cost of superconducting wires/tapes, technical issues related to AC losses, the structure of superconducting devices, the cooling system complexity, the critical temperature, and manufacturing related issues, among others.

In recent decades, significant advancements on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques were accomplished – knowing massive investment – to provide disruptive solutions for many engineering and manufacturing problems. Consequently, AI, and big data (BD) techniques can be implemented to tackle the challenges faced with large scale superconducting applications, and hence promote power superconductivity towards fully commercialized manufacturing in next decade. AI approaches are competent to offer fast, efficient, and accurate solutions for addressing the technical, manufacturing, and economic problems in the field of superconductivity.

This special session aims to shed light on using AI and BD for improvements in design, manufacturing and operation, fault detection and condition monitoring of superconducting apparatus in large scale power applications. We hope this special session in ASC2022 will bring momentums into community by accelerating implementation of AI and BD in near future.

ASC 2022 Materials Special Sessions

REBCO Coated Conductors – A Dialogue Between Users and Manufacturers

Extraordinary new ideas and materials developments have been demonstrated by scientists working on coated conductors. Steadily increasing performance, availability of long lengths and the promise for a price decrease triggered the interest for applications in various domains, from those with a direct societal impact, including compact fusion devices, NMR spectrometers at the highest resolution, innovative gantries for the hadron therapy of cancer, and novel applications in the electric infrastructure and in the field of hydrogen-based mobility to those with the aim of expanding the frontiers of human knowledge, e.g. the studies for next generation hadron colliders. Each of these technologies calls for superconductor R&D tailored to its specific operating conditions. This special session puts up a dialog between coated conductor manufacturers and end users on the present needs and the perspective of market development.

ASC 2022 Memorial Sessions

Sir Martin Wood Memorial

This session is dedicated to the memory of Sir Martin Wood (1927-2021). Martin credited among other things with the development of the world’s first commercial superconducting magnet.

Sir Martin Wood joined Oxford Physics in 1955 as a Senior Research Officer, working with Professor Nicholas Kurti on resistive high-field magnets in Kurti’s research group. This led to other universities wanting access to the technology. In response, in 1959 Martin and his wife Audrey founded Oxford University’s first substantial spin-out company, Oxford Instruments (OI).

Following the development of niobium-alloy-based superconductors in the US, just two years after OI was founded, Martin, successfully constructed the first superconducting magnet establishing a new commercial product for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as well as the first commercial MRI magnet system for medical use. A decade later Martin pioneered the design and manufacture of low temperature equipment and his innovations have enabled researchers to conduct fundamental research at extremely low temperatures. OI had originally operated out of Martin’s garden shed in Northmoor Road, in Oxford, but rapidly grew and is now a FTSE 250 International company with federal offices and an annual revenue of over £300M.

OI has produced superconducting magnets for use in the world’s largest particle accelerators and a visit to the laboratories in any modern university physics department will reveal numerous Oxford Instruments magnets and cryostats. Oxford Instruments became, and remains, one of the world’s leading technology companies, developing instruments with applications in areas including medicine, cryogenics, and spectroscopy.

Martin was knighted in 1986 for his services to science and received numerous awards and honorary doctorates. In addition, both Sir Martin and Lady Audrey have been generous in their many philanthropic endeavors. Oxford University Physics Department has benefitted from their donation of funds to build the Sir Martin Wood Lecture Theatre and surrounding rooms, including a seminar room named in Audrey’s honor; they also made a substantial donation to the Department of Physics’ new Beecroft Building. The annual Sir Martin Wood Prize, founded in 1998, fosters UK-Japan links and is awarded each year to an outstanding young Japanese scientist who receives the opportunity to lecture in UK universities.

Martin’s brilliance, innovations and enthusiasm and passion for science and engineering together with support to innovation and entrepreneurship provided the foundation for ground-breaking developments that have saved millions of lives and transformed our understanding of Physics, Chemistry, Quantum materials and Nanotechnology.

This Sir Martin Wood Memorial session is sponsored by Bruker EST, Oxford Instruments and Siemens Healthineers MR Magnet Technology.

On Monday of this week, we honored the late Sir Martin Wood for his foundational contributions to superconducting magnets. Please watch a short tribute and retrospective video provided by his wife, Lady Audrey Wood, that was played during the memorial session earlier this week.

Carl Rosner Memorial

This session is dedicated in memory of Carl H. Rosner (1929-2022). Carl Rosner made an exceptional contribution to science and commercialization of applied superconductivity. In 1955, Carl joined GE Research and Development Center in Schenectady, NY where he led the team that built the world’s first superconducting magnet that reached the record 10 tesla magnetic field. During work on this project, the GE team made multiple discoveries and innovations including AC losses and, perhaps, the first AC loss simulation model, observations of mechanical disturbances and flux jumps, conductor stabilization, quench protection approach, pancake coils tape wound of Nb3Sn tape conductor. Under Mr. Rosner’s leadership, GE became the first company to offer commercial high field, >10 T, superconducting magnets for research purposes. In 1971, Mr. Rosner founded Intermagnetics General Corporation (IGC). He served as the company CEO and President until 1998. IGC (purchased by Philips in 2006) became one of the world’s leading suppliers of magnets for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): over 10 thousand MRI scanners keep IGC and Philips logos.

Mr. Rosner developed IGC as a vertically-integrated company: Luvata (then IGC-Advanced Superconductors) and SuperPower are both IGC spin offs. Division of cryocoolers at Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. also started as a department of IGC. Later, Mr. Rosner founded Cardiomag Imaging: the company uses SQUIDs for magneto-cardiography (MCG) for early identification of the heart disease.

Carl Rosner was a visionary who believed that basic research and development was necessary for a corporation to have long-term success. He received numerous awards at both state and national levels. He was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering in 1996. He received the Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1992 for Manufacturing by Inc. Magazine and Ernst & Young. Mr. Rosner was the first recipient of the IEEE Council on Superconductivity (CSC) Max Swerdlow Award for Sustained Service to the Applied Superconductivity community (2002). In 2010, CSC established the Carl H. Rosner Entrepreneurship Award.

Submissions shall generally address at least one of the areas below. Click here for the full list of submission categories.

  1. Applications of superconductors in Quantum Systems – Quantum Computing / Communications / Sensing. The most promising modalities for implementing the relatively new field of quantum information involve superconducting devices, superconducting qubits, and/or superconducting readout systems. ASC invites submissions related to Quantum Systems that include superconductors. Device, design, packaging, system related topics are included and solicited.
  2. Advances in the science of superconductors relevant to applications. Abstracts describing basic materials, films, or artificial structures should discuss properties interesting for applications, forms used in applications such as elementary conductors or simple circuits, or structural or compositional aspects that potentially lead to use in a device. Theoretical content should address topics relevant to applications, operations, or behavior of practical systems. Experimental studies, test methods, and data should relate to aspects of superconductivity important for applications in some way.
  3. Advances in superconducting technology. Abstracts may describe concepts, design, modelling, manufacturing or fabrication, and operation or implementation of superconducting devices or components. Extensions of conventional technologies by the use of superconductivity should emphasize the role of superconductivity in the device or component. Abstracts may describe non-superconducting technologies that are required for the use of superconductors, such as insulation, provided that the primary discussion is focused on applied superconductivity.
  4. Integration of superconducting devices and components in systems. Abstracts may discuss sub-systems or full systems comprised of components such as cables, magnets, detectors, circuits, and so on. Discussions may include components and processes that support superconducting devices, such as cryogenic systems supporting superconducting magnets. Studies of power devices, transportation systems, electricity transmission, energy storage, and other systems that use superconducting components should emphasize the role of superconductivity or the particular aspects of superconductivity important to the system or application. Cryogenics, non-superconducting materials at cryogenic temperature, power supplies, power electronics, and other ancillary topics may be considered provided the connection to applied superconductivity is clear. Also, abstracts may describe facilities to verify operation of components, report system tests, or describe the status of superconducting systems and projects using superconducting components.

Note that the numbers are related to editorial subject areas of the IEEE Transactions of Applied Superconductivity (TAS). A submission category must be selected during abstract submission.

General Information

  • All authors identified as speaker/presenting author on the submitted abstract must register for the conference and be present in Honolulu.
  • Presentations are either oral or poster. The Program Committee reserves the right to change the type of presentation from that preferred by the author to accommodate limitations on meeting space and other constraints.
  • Presentation is a requirement for a submitted manuscript to be considered for peer review. This includes presentations in oral or poster format. The presentation should be given at the appointed time in the program, by the designated author or co-author (presenter). Only manuscripts based on material presented in an oral presentation or on a poster will be considered for publication. For posters, the word “presented” means that the presenting author must be present during the entire session and available for discussion. Simply posting an enlarged version of the manuscript is not considered as a presentation. The abstract submitter will become the contact author for the manuscript submission. Manuscript submission is not required.
  • Notice of acceptance for inclusion in the ASC 2022 Program will be sent electronically to the Submitting and Presenting Authors on May 25, 2022.

Abstract submission is closed.

Submit Abstract

Abstract Submission Deadline Extended – Posters Only: May 23, 2022 (11:59 p.m. EDT)

Abstract Preparation & Submission Guidelines

  • All abstracts must be about applied superconductivity, must be written in the English language, must contain enough information to permit placement of the presentation into the program, and must make logical arguments based on scientific or engineering methods. The Program Committee reserves the right to reject abstracts that do not conform to these guidelines.
  • Abstract Submission Checklist:
    • Ensure your abstract contains sufficient information for reviewers to determine its scientific quality.
    • Ensure your abstract is about applied superconductivity and explain the relevance.
    • Ensure your abstract is scientifically meaningful or otherwise descriptive of a substantial development in the ASC community and does it explain why.
  • Formatting will be performed by the abstract management system, please prepare information in plain text. Abstract titles must be in mixed/sentence case.
  • Some symbols (e.g., Greek letters) can be used in the abstract submission, however, if your symbol does not paste correctly (you should be able to see it on the screen), then please substitute the corresponding plain text.
  • Contact information is required for the Submitting Author and the Presenting Author (which may be, but is not necessarily, the same person). Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all submitted information.
  • Length restrictions include spaces and are as follows:

♦ Title and Abstract Content/Body: 3000 characters
♦ Acknowledgment: 300 characters

  • A confirmation step will permit authors to verify all content and give final approval. Only completed and approved submissions will be reviewed for technical program consideration.
  • The control number assigned to an abstract once it is submitted is the primary means of identifying an abstract until the program is formed. Please use the control number in any correspondence concerning abstracts until a program number has been issued.

Attention Visa Applicants: If you need a letter of invitation for visa application purposes in advance of the May 25, 2022 abstract status notification date, please indicate in the submission process that you need an invitation letter and submit your abstract by March 1, 2022. The Program Committee will endeavor to review your submission early and provide you with a decision (and invitation letter if accepted) by April 4, 2022.

Abstract Changes & Withdrawals

Abstract Changes & Modifications

Abstracts may be modified until the deadline using the abstract submission site unless the submission has already been reviewed by the Program Committee.

If your abstract has already been reviewed and after the submission deadline, abstract content changes, i.e., modification of title or body, will be sent to the Program Committee for approval. Corrections, i.e., spelling or grammar, or author changes such as designation of different presenting author, changes to affiliations, changes to names, etc., can be completed without referral to the Program Committee. In either case, please contact Centennial Conferences by e-mail and specify whether you need a change or a correction in the e-mail subject line along with the Control ID.

Except for presenting author changes, modifications will be accepted until September 7, 2022.

Abstract Withdrawals

  • Abstracts can be withdrawn via the abstract submission site through the abstract submission deadline.
  • Withdrawal requests after closing of the submission site must be sent to Centennial Conferences by e-mail. Please be sure to include your Control ID.

Disclosure

  • Abstracts will be reviewed by the Program Committee.
  • Submitting author email addresses will be added to the ASEF (ASC) email list (if not already on the list) to ensure that conference announcements are received.
  • All abstracts submitted are disclosed to members of the ASC 2022 program committee and conference management. Abstracts accepted for presentation are made available publicly with launching the full conference program prior to the conference.
