Frequency-tunable superconducting microwave resonators based on quantum paraelectricity

Shu-Kun Ye, Zi-Qing Huang, Ran-Ran Cai +8 more

Frequency tuning enables both high-sensitivity and wide-bandwidth detection in the resonator. Potassium tantalate (KTO) is a quantum paraelectric with tunable permittivity and low microwave loss at cryogenic temperature, making it promising for tunable devices. Here, we demonstrate a superconducting microwave resonator on a KTO substrate. The resonant frequency can be tuned by ∼40 MHz using a 9 V bias at 20 mK, with no observable hysteresis. The absence of hysteresis is a key metric for practical devices, addressing one of the major obstacles in other paraelectric-based tunable resonators. More interestingly, we observed that the quality factor oscillates during voltage tuning, arising from the competition between phonon hardening and charge injection. Therefore, our work provides a practical tunable resonator platform and offers a potential approach to study energy-loss characteristics in quantum paraelectrics.

Experiments With Tunable Superconducting Metamaterials

Alexey Vladimirovich Ustinov

The paper reviews experiments with networks of compact thin-film superconducting microwave resonators. Superconducting circuits offer low loss properties, well-controlled nonlinearity, and frequency tunability in the microwave and mm-wave frequency ranges. An interesting spin-off of superconducting metamaterials is going to be quantum metamaterials comprised of arrays of superconducting qubits. This direction is an emerging new field for fundamental studies in quantum optics using microwaves.
