Superconducting nanowires in the quantum phase slip (QPS) regime allow to study the flux and phase dynamics in duality to Josephson junction systems. We experimentally study QPS effects of nanowires which are embedded in a resonant microwave circuit. The samples are probed at ultra-low microwave power and applied magnetic field at mK temperatures. The AlO_x nanowires, with a sheet resistance in the kΩ range, are fabricated by sputter deposition of aluminium in a controlled oxygen atmosphere. The wires are defined with conventional electron beam lithography into hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) down to a width of 15-30 nm.
We present the single layer process fabrication and measurements of nanowires galvanically coupled to a superconducting lumped element microwave resonator.
