Superposition Principle

Gennaro Auletta, Shang-Yung Wang

The aim of this chapter is to present the very peculiar undulatory character of quantum systems that allows something unknown to classical physics called self-interference and therefore a superposi- tion of the states in which the system under observation can be. We shall also become acquainted with the basic formalism of the theory, especially by learning to compute probabilities.

The Superconducting Low-inductance Undulatory Galvanometer (SLUG) is a linear, phase-sensitive, quantumlimited amplifier that can amplify ultra-weak microwave signals at frequencies up to 10 GHz or potentially higher, such as the output from cavity-based searches for the axion, a dark matter candidate. The SLUG amplifier differs from the closely related Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) amplifier in that the input signal is directly injected into the SLUG rather than being inductively coupled through a multiturn input coil. The direct injection greatly simplifies the SLUG's microwave circuit integration and modelling, whilst enabling potentially higher frequency operation. Here we present the design and modelling of a SLUG amplifier that can be realised from a single-layer of Nb, with nanobridge weak-links fabricated using either electron-beam (EBL) or focussed ion beam (FIB) lithography as the Josephson elements. We discuss the input and output impedance, the forward transimpedance, and the potential power gain assuming a matched source and load. We also discuss the necessary impedance matching of the SLUG to the characteristic 50 Ω on-chip microwave environment.

Superconducting low-inductance undulatory galvanometer microwave amplifier: Theory

Guilhem J. Ribeill, David J. Hover, Yung‐Fu Chen +2 more

We describe a novel scheme for low-noise phase-insensitive linear amplification at microwave frequencies based on the superconducting low-inductance undulatory galvanometer (SLUG). Direct integration of the junction equations of motion provides access to the full scattering matrix of the SLUG. We discuss the optimization of SLUG amplifiers and calculate amplifier gain and noise temperature in both the thermal and quantum regimes. Loading of the SLUG element by the finite input admittance is taken into account, and strategies for decoupling the SLUG from the higher-order modes of the input circuit are discussed. The microwave SLUG amplifier is expected to achieve noise performance approaching the standard quantum limit in the frequency range from 5–10 GHz, with gain around 15 dB for a single-stage device and instantaneous bandwidths of order 1 GHz.
