A niobium nitride-based analog to digital converter using rapid single flux quantum logic operating at 9.5 K

Masoud Radparvar

An analog to digital converter (ADC) using the rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) logic family implemented in niobium nitride (NbN) technology is described. The circuit was originally developed and demonstrated in niobium technology. An identical circuit was then laid out, fabricated and demonstrated in NbN technology. The chips were fabricated using an eight-layer NbN-based process with Josephson junction critical current density of 500 A/cm/sup 2/. In this paper, we report on the measurement results for a 6-bit flux quantizing ADC which exhibited proper operation and good DC bias margins. We also demonstrate results from an ADC chip operating up to 9.5 K.>

Quantum Analog-to-Digital Converter for Phase Estimation

Eugenio Caruccio, Simone Roncallo, Valeria Cimini +9 more

Traditional quantum metrology assesses precision using the figures of merit of continuous-valued parameter estimation. Recently, quantum digital estimation was introduced: it evaluates the performance information-theoretically by quantifying the number of significant bits of the parameter, redefining key benchmarks like the Heisenberg bound. Here, we report the first experimental realization of a Quantum Analog-to-Digital Converter for quantum metrology, that takes an input continuous parameter and outputs a bit string, using an advanced photonic platform, comprising a fully reconfigurable integrated circuit and a quantum dot source of highly indistinguishable photons. We implement a protocol for digital phase estimation that is capable of surpassing the standard quantum limit, through the simultaneous use of different entangled state resources. We tackle experimental imperfections by employing machine learning techniques for noise deconvolution and estimation process refinement. Our protocol is experimentally benchmarked against classical strategies via the number of recoverable bits of the unknown parameter. Our results open new perspectives for future implementation of quantum digital estimation strategies.
