| Summary:

Superconducting sensors are a key enabling technology for many HEP
experiments with advances in sensor capabilities leading directly to expanded
science reach. The unique materials and processes required for the fabrication
of these sensors makes commercial sourcing impractical in comparison with
semiconducting devices. Subsequently, the development and fabrication of new
sensors are often performed at academic cleanrooms supported through HEP basic
detector research and/or project funds. While this operational model has been
successful to date, we are at a turning point in the history of superconducting
electronics, as evidenced by the rapid growth in the field of quantum
computing, when scale and sophistication of these sensors can lead to
significant progress. In order to achieve this progress and meet the needs of
the next generations of HEP experiments, continued support of all stages of the
superconducting sensors development pipeline is necessary.
