Abstract
Ultrasensitive detectors and readout devices based on the radio frequency single electron transistor (rf-SET) combine near quantum-limited sensitivity with fast operation. Here we describe a twin rf-SET detector that uses two superconducting rf-SETs to perform fast, real-time cross-correlated measurements in order to distinguish subelectron signals from charge noise on microsecond time scales. The twin rf-SET makes use of two tuned resonance circuits to simultaneously and independently address both rf-SETs using wavelength division multiplexing and a single cryogenic amplifier. We focus on the operation of the twin rf-SET as a charge detector and evaluate the cross talk between the two resonance circuits. Real-time suppression of charge noise is demonstrated by cross correlating the signals from the two rf-SETs. For the case of simultaneous operation, the rf-SETs had charge sensitivities of δqSET1=7.5μe∕Hz and δqSET2=4.4μe∕Hz.
