Optimizing Pump Conditions of Parametric Amplifiers for Fast Multiplexed Readout of Superconducting Qubits

Jeongwon Kim, Wei Dai, Omrie Ovdat +3 more

Low-noise parametric amplifiers are widely used as the first-stage amplifier in qubit readout chains. The performance of parametric amplifiers depends sensitively on the choice of the pump condition. We propose a strategy for determining the pump condition that is tailored for fast multiplexed readout. Choosing the amplifier pump to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement at the readout frequency of the limiting qubit--the qubit that requires the longest readout time to reach a target SNR--minimizes the total multiplexed readout time. We demonstrate our pump calibration strategy experimentally on a five-qubit multiplexed readout chain with a traveling-wave parametric amplifier. Using our strategy, we reduce the multiplexed readout time by 320 ns compared to optimizing the average SNR improvement on all qubits, without degrading the target SNR for any qubit.
