The main research accomplishments:

1. Theoretical prediction and experimental observation of nondegenerate single-frequency parametric amplification in Josephson contacts. The prenomenon was registered as a discovery by the USSR Committee on Inventions and Discoveries in 1984.

2. Observation of correlated tunneling of single electrons in space (SET transistor effect) in a double junction structure. (simultaneously it was observed in the Bell Labs. by T. Fulton and G. Dolan and submitted for publication just on the same day, March 6, 1987). The SET transistors are now practically in use in each mesoscopic physics laboratory.

3. Observation of correlated tunneling of Cooper pairs in time in an ultrasmall Josephson junction ("Bloch Oscillations"). Experimental evidence for the autonomous Bloch Oscillations was obtained by observation of the self-selective videoresponse for a small external signal. The BO is the first manifestation of the macroscopic coherence of many quantum states.

4. Observation of correlated tunneling of single electrons in time and space (SET oscillations) in a one-dimensional array of the tunnel junctions and in a single tunnel junction isolated from electrodynamic environment by resistors with continuous transfer of the charge through the resistors.

5. A novel concept of a Cold-Electron Bolometer (CEB) with direct electron cooling of the absorber has been invented. This concept is a turning point in development of supersensitive detectors from constraining heating (used for transition-edge sensors) to deep electron cooling with considerable improvement of sensitivity and saturation power. The CEB has a chance to become a leading concept for the next generation of bolometers for high-performance Cosmology Instruments. The CEB concept is now being developed in collaboration with Cambridge, Oxford and Rome Universities.

6. A novel concept of an on-chip cascade quasiparticle amplifier with strong electron cooling of trapped quasiparticles has been proposed. The main innovation is that the amplifier can use, due to cascade principle, the same power supply as the main bolometer. This amplifier can be very useful for matching the readout electronics to multi-pixel arrays of sensors.

7. Novel concept of the planar Nanostrip phase switch for polarometry experiments has been proposed. These concepts are based on resistive switch of superconductive nanostrip. The phase switch is being developed in collaboration with Oxford and Manchester Universities. A kinetic inductance modulator based on Josephson junctions has been proposed recently (in stage of patenting). The planar phase switch will replace mechanical waveguide switches in integrated modulators for coming ground-based and space Cosmology projects.

8. A novel concepts of the Superconducting Cold-Electron Bolometer (SCEB) with SIS’ and Josephson Tunnel Junctions has been invented for matching to a JFET readout for BOOMERANG balloon telescope (led by Rome University). The concepts can be used effectively for new high-performance Cosmology instruments.

9. A novel concept of the Parallel/Series Array of CEBs with SIN Tunnel Junctions has been invented for matching with JFET readout for BOOMERANG project (led by Rome University). The concept can be effectively used for new high-performance Cosmology instruments.

10. A self-aligned shadow evaporation technique for large area tunnel junctions and nanoabsorbers has been invented. The old dream of scientists involved in electron cooling and cold-electron bolometer research becomes reality with opportunity of unlimited area tunnel junctions. The technololgy is a key moment in implementation of reliable cold-electron bolometers for BOOMERanG and other cosmology instruments.

Other” low-temperature” activities:

- Participant of 11 ski races “Vasaloppet”

- Amateur activity of mine is the building the record snow Igloos using only a primitive Eskimo instrument – a saw. The latest Igloo survived under the weight 3722 kg of 45 participants of the 11^th International workshop! International team from 15 countries took part in this record attempt. The results will be sent to the Guinness World Record Book for registration as the Strongest Dome Igloo.
