A cryogenic on-chip microwave pulse generator for large-scale superconducting quantum computing

Zenghui Bao, Yan Li, Zhiling Wang +7 more

For superconducting quantum processors, microwave signals are delivered to each qubit from room-temperature electronics to the cryogenic environment through coaxial cables. Limited by the heat load of cabling and the massive cost of electronics, such an architecture is not viable for millions of qubits required for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Monolithic integration of the control electronics and the qubits provides a promising solution, which, however, requires a coherent cryogenic microwave pulse generator that is compatible with superconducting quantum circuits. Here, we report such a signal source driven by digital-like signals, generating pulsed microwave emission with well-controlled phase, intensity, and frequency directly at millikelvin temperatures. We showcase high-fidelity readout of superconducting qubits with the microwave pulse generator. The device demonstrated here has a small footprint, negligible heat load, great flexibility to operate, and is fully compatible with today's superconducting quantum circuits, thus providing an enabling technology for large-scale superconducting quantum computers.

Terahertz direct detectors based on superconducting hot electron bolometers with microwave injection

Shoulu Jiang, X. F. Li, Runfeng Su +5 more

Terahertz (THz) direct detectors based on superconducting niobium nitride (NbN) hot electron bolometers (HEBs) with microwave (MW) injection have been studied. Compared to the thermal biasing method, the injected MW is used here to bias the HEB to the optimum point. MW can be expected to be used as the easy read out for the detecting array. The used NbN HEB has an excellent performance as heterodyne detector with the noise temperature of 403 K working at 4.2 K and 0.65 THz. As the result, the noise equivalent power (NEP) of 1.4 pW/Hz1/2and the response time of 64 ps have been obtained for the direct detectors with MW injection.

Spatially resolved studies of the microwave properties of superconducting devices

D. Quenter, S. Stehle, T. Doderer +8 more

Low temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM) offers the possibility for spatially resolved investigations of microwave properties of single Josephson junctions, superconducting striplines, resonators, and complex cryoelectric circuits during their operation. The spatial resolution of about 1 μm is at least two orders of magnitude better than the typical wavelength (≳100 μm in the elements) in the frequency range of interest (50–500 GHz). We demonstrate that LTSEM is a well suited tool for the experimental investigation of superconducting microwave devices and cryoelectronic circuits.
